Sightseeing

Stunning beauty spot. A head land with lots of walks, the best being a high point where there are panoramic views over Christchurch, Mudeford, Isle of Wight and stretching out over Bournemouth bay and beyond. The Hiker cafe has a delicious selection of cakes and hot food. https://www.visithengistburyhead.co.uk/Home.aspx

About 15 minutes in the car from our location. Best to visit when it’s not so hot as can get log jammed. But fantastic to visit.

Not many people know about this place. It’s one of our favourite places to go. An abandoned village, taken by the MOD and never returned to residents. You’ll need to check online to see if it’s open as it’s located on MOD gun ranges. https://tynehamvillage.org/tyneham-village/
