Geography
The point is within the grounds of Durlston Country Park and is on the hill about three kilometres from Swanage town centre. Anvil Point is in the eastern part of the Portland limestone and the Purbeck beds that stretches from Durlston Head to St. Aldhelm's Head. For a long time the cliffs along this stretch of coast were quarried at Tilly Whim Caves, Dancing Ledge, Seacombe and Winspit. The cliffs are superb for geologists and also for walkers. They are very well known to rock climbers.
