The Great Globe — photo spot in Durlston Country Park, Swanage BH19 2JL, UK
The Great Globe
The Great Globe is a 19th‑century stone globe perched on the cliff edge at Durlston Country Park, offering dramatic foreground interest against Jurassic Coast sea and limestone cliffs. Best at golden hour or sunset for warm side lighting and long shadows; dawn yields calm seas and fewer visitors. Small car park and visitor centre at Durlston (paid parking); short uneven walk to the globe—bring windproof clothing. No entry fee for the park; respect protected cliff edges and local wildlife.
