    Tips

    Hengistbury Head has so many designations that it seems like one of the most fascinating places in the country; a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a Local Nature Reserve, a Special Area of Conservation, an Environmentally Sensitive Area and more besides.

    Aside from being home to rare birds, animals and plants, the headland was also home to ancient people. With evidence of Stone Age activity and that of almost every era since, it's not only now that people flock to Hengistbury Head.

    With a wonderful sandy beach and far-reaching views to the Isle of Wight and across to Swanage, this is a fantastic place to visit.
