The village of Worth Matravers lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty approximately 4 miles to the west of the seaside resort of Swanage and some 9 miles from the market town of Wareham, the latter having main line rail link to London Waterloo (some 2 hours). St Aldhelms Head is about one and a half miles to the south west of Worth Matravers and is approached by an unmade country lane.
