Dip into a pool of inspiration with our showcase of waterside wedding venues DURLSTON CASTLE AND COUNTRY PARK, ISLE OF PURBECK 01929 424 443 | www.durlston.co.uk Durlston Castle is a clifftop paradise perched on top of a headland, jutting out into the sea surrounded by woodland and wildflower meadows. Set within Durlston Country Park National Nature Reserve, at the top of the recently renovated Victorian castle is the glass-sided Belvedere room looking out to Old Harry Rocks, the Isle of Wight and English Channel. A breathtaking location for an intimate wedding, you can tie the knot here with up to 50 loved ones followed by drinks and canapes on the exclusive roof terrace post-vows. For a more contemporary setting, you can say ‘I do’ in the Gallery. With its wall of glass doors overlooking the sea, it has a modern Purbeck limestone and wood interior and can host up to 90 guests for the wedding breakfast. It also boasts an exclusive grassed amphitheatre and patio too. We love… the spectacular surroundings and historic Great Globe in the grounds; perfect for one-of-a-kind photos.
