access to the M27 motorway at Southampton via the A338 and A31 roads. The nearest train station is Parkstone railway station, about 4 km away but there are no public transport routes connecting there. Instead, the Purbeck Breezer bus route runs daily year-round from Bournemouth railway station, the major station in the conurbation, and seasonal routes (some departures only) runs from Poole bus station, near Poole railway station.
