THE BLUE POOL at Furzebrook varies in colour; at times green and sometimes turquoise.
Steps lead down to the water’s edge or up to views of the Purbeck Hills.

THE ETCHES COLLECTION is the result of one man’s passion of over 30 years of discovery and diligent research, dogged determination not just to find and collect specimens, but also to bring to life the amazing stories of the creatures that existed in the Kimmeridgian age.
This museum is probably the best of its type in the World.
