モーデンの湖・トップ4

The "Fort on the Lake" in East Lulworth is a folly, a building built for decorative effect rather than a practical purpose, located on the edge of a lake created for model boat testing. The lake itself was built by Joseph Weld in the 1830s and the fort was built in 1851. The fort was originally intended to house a model 12-gun brig of war, but it was sadly dismantled and no longer exists. The folly remains as a decorative feature on the wild lake.

Holes Bay is an intertidal embayment upstream of the main Poole Harbour. The area is an important wetland bird haven.

Beautiful spot, on a sunny day could almost think you are in the Caribbean

Did you know that this lake was built in 1837 for model-boat testing for the Admiralty? Furthermore, on this shore, you can observe the fort that was also constructed shortly thereafter.

Has a number of trails and a play park with a fairies door tail for the younger ones. the tea rooms dose breakfast before 10 am

There’s even several bike lock installations at the end of the bridleway, so you can leave you’re bike safely rather than take it onto the sandy beach.

Great for a quick dip before heading to the station

Nice quiet little beach, perfect for a picnic. RSPB ask you to use cycle racks so as not to disturb wildlife or you can just carry your bike the last 25m or so!
