Ancient town and former royal borough, the charming market town of WAREHAM is a veritable delight where ever you look at any time of the year.

Between the rivers Frome and Piddle, the attractive gateway to the Isle of Purbeck was a major port until the Middle Ages when the Wareham Channel began to silt up and it was superseded by Poole.

A visit to Purbeck isn't complete without some time in Wareham with its massive earth ramparts built by King Alfred The Great to protect his ancient burgh. With its cottages and town houses snuggling together, it has an embarrassment of riches - from the lofty Medieval splendour of Lady St Mary's Church to the cosiness of the quaint, bustling quay. And Wareham's quaint back lanes are a visitor's delight: each lane opening up a new vista and unexpected delights as you walk along thoroughfares dating back hundreds of years.

Visit the town at the end of July and you can join in Wareham's carnival capers as local people dress up and spend several days enjoying themselves in a series of fun events and crazy antics to raise thousands of pounds for local charities and good causes.

Wareham has a fine array of shops, pubs and restaurants for every pocket, as well as its own small 1930s style cinema - the Rex in West Street - run by a dedicated band of volunteers.

High up on a plateau overlooking Poole Harbour and the Dorset heathland so immortalised for readers world-wide by Thomas Hardy, Wareham is bounded by two rivers-the Piddle or Trent to the North and the Frome to the South. Enter the quaint market town -devastated but rebuilt with fine Georgian architecture after a fire in the 1762 - and you step back in time. A must for any visitor to Wareham is the town's museum in East Street- next to the splendid Victorian town hall at the market cross.
