THE SQUARE AND COMPASS

A little too far from the path for multi day backpackers, but the uphill diversion from the coast to Worth Matravers (near Swanage) is well worth it for day walkers who appreciate a quality pint, an "unimproved" pub and a pasty. (Palmers Copper, own cider and other beers and ciders)  Extensive outside seating on interesting wood and stone tables, hatch service. In every CAMRA beer guide to date (2009). Fossil museum (free entry). Food:Pasty or Pie. Website
