Sustainable Tourism

Aims and achievements

Wareham thrives on visitors to the town. We organise projects to encourage visitors to be more sustainable, support local businesses and be mindful of their impact on our community and environment – whilst still enjoying the natural beauty of Purbeck and Wareham.

What does Wareham Want?

We asked people who came to our events what Wareham residents and visitors want from tourism. Some of the themes and suggestions are:

Traffic and transport

Annual car free day in Purbeck with Hopper buses to shuttle people
Buses with bike spaces, and more bus spaces on trains
Car free Quay
More bike spaces in the town – with room for buggies
20mph speed limit in town
Improve pavement and pedestrian rights.
Electric car changing in Wareham

Support local businesses!

Local Food fair down the middle of the South Street
Food hub with local produce

Ecotourism projects

Visit Wareham for Nature and Wildlife

This project puts Wareham on the map as THE base for enthusiasts and experts to explore the unique nature and wildlife of Purbeck. Sustainable Wareham and Visit Wareham, in collaboration with many environmental and conservation organisations, have created a website "Nature and Wildlife – Visit Wareham", and have produced a leaflet called Visit Wareham for Nature and Wildlife.
