ウールの湖・トップ6

I can only agree with the last tip. We have had less than stellar service recently, not felt especially welcome and the cycle provision is not good. As recommended head onto the Dovecote at Moreton. If you get a coffee the cafe is the best for quality but you have to drink it in the Cafe. When we asked to have our coffee in a flask they were not keen. Sculptures and grounds are lovely, let down by cafe

Lovely aspect whcih you can se in the great photo. Good spot when doing any number of walks in Puddletown forest and around. Harye's Cottace neatby - I think you have to book with he National Trust currently.

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.

An important watering hole for wildlife and the resident Dartmoor ponies, Rushy Pond buzzes with dragonflies and damselflies, whilst the pond’s surface is often disturbed by a newt surfacing for air or a grass snake on the hunt. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/dorset/hardys-cottage/things-to-see-and-do-at-hardys-cottage

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.
