Worth Matravers is a small, typical Purbeck village about 5 miles from Swanage. It is popular with walkers, and is perhaps best known for its excellent and unusual pub - the Square and Compasses (see tip below).
The village is sited on a ridge overlooking the sea, which is about half a mile away. The typical Purbeck limestone cottages are clustered around a tiny duck pond and village green. It is ridiculously picturesque.

Although the village is not very well connected, it is possible to use the twice daily bus service from Swanage (route 144) to visit for a couple of hours - enough time to sample the beer, cider and pasties at the Square and Compasses. The bus leaves Swanage (outside the station) at 12:25 pm, and the return service leaves the village at 14:19. The trip from Swanage takes about 20 minutes.
- Pros:Excellent pub
- Cons:only two buses a day

We would normally put a pub/inn tip under "nightlife" or "restaurants", but, frankly, the Square and Compasses pub is... more travel advice
