Swanage Railway |
A trip on the old steam
railway is a must and prices are fairly reasonable. Once in a
while they do trips with a meal. We have often fancied doing
that but never managed to organise ourselves. |

take 2 adults and 2 kids to Bournemouth on the open top bus via
the Sandbanks ferry and at around £12 makes a fun budget day out |
