I highly, highly recommend Poole for a day - shops, seafront, and one of my favourite places on earth :y

All I know about Monkey World is that the inhabitants go mental when you drive by in a tank  ;D ;D ;D

Oh and if you fancy going to Sandbanks instead of paying through the nose for parking get there early, say before 8am and find a spot in the street in Sandbanks itself.  Go straight past the parking lots and tun right down any of the streets.  Used to be free but I must admit I haven't been for a year or two.  A trip over to Brownsea is nice too if you like a good ramble  :y

Being as the weather is warming up you could always go to the nudist beach at Studland 8) 8) ;D ;D
http://nuff.org.uk/factfile/content/view/48/48/

Swanage is nice
http://www.visit-dorset.com/about-the-area/areas-to-visit/swanage-and-purbeck

a very nice ride on the steam railway is good if the weather is kind
http://www.swanagerailway.co.uk/

as is Corfe and its castle
http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/corfecastle/

and if you fancy a walk you can walk to Old Harrys Rock near Swanage
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Harry_Rocks

It is a very pleasant part of the world.

It is indeed, I moved there in 1985, worked for a few months but as I had not sold my house and my old company gave me an offer I could not refuse so returned North after about 6 months....... :-\ :-\
