Studland is a village and civil parish[1] on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, England. The village is located about 2 miles (3.2 km) north of the town of Swanage, over a steep chalk ridge, and 3 miles (4.8 km) south of the South East Dorset conurbation at Sandbanks, from which it is separated by Poole Harbour. The parish includes Brownsea Island within the harbour.[2] In the 2011 census the parish had 182 households and a population of 425,[3] though many of the houses in the village are holiday homes, second homes, or guest houses, and the village's population varies depending upon the season.

Studland is famous for its beaches and nature reserve.
