About

The Blue Pool is a unique attraction in the Isle of Purbeck.

A chance to escape the outside world and enjoy walks around a magical Pool famous for its ever changing colours. Very fine clay in suspension in the water diffracts light in different ways, producing a spectrum of colour - sometimes green, sometimes turquoise.

Sandy paths lead up steps to views of the Purbeck Hills or down steps to the waters edge.

The Blue Pool is also home to the Wareham Bears and has a Giftshop, Museum and Plant Centre.

The Tea House offers morning coffee, delicious lunches and cream teas with homemade scones.
