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.

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.
