Once upon a while ago, An older fellow used to own this pub. He used to get very tired and fall asleep on a small seat at the end of a row of barrels. We had to help our self to the drinks and sort the change from a large pile of coins on the counter. Many great evenings at this place, many great memories. A real pub. I miss it greatly. 'A cider please'
Just the southwest coast path. Started in Swanage, at the park/carpark at the southern tip, and walked west. Only a couple of hours to get to Worth Matravers, and then relax at the pub. Bus back, or a straight road walk back to Swanage is only a little over an hour.
I love the Square and Compass. It's a rediculously tiny pub and the surroundings really are beautiful. I was last there around Halloween and they had the biggest pumpkins I've ever seen arrayed around the garden.
I agreee, I first came here when I was 7... now every year me and my mum take one of my friends down to cycle to swanage.. say hello to the dogs there.. the dogs are so sweet..

Wot route did you take for your walk? Could you post it? Always looking for somewhere to go for a good stroll.
Check out my photo slideshow of some of my favourite places in Dorset at my Channel! How many views do you recognise?

This is my most favouritest pub in the UK ! The Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel (Lake District) and The Oak (Fritham/New forest) being runners up.

nice video. I was there at that pub today after a really tough walk. Gorgeous village and pub I think you'd agree.

Can't wait to get back there in the summer. The coast paths on summers evenings are stunning, as is the cider served at the pub!
