North Beach Swanage

Thursday 15th October 2015

We popped out late on this afternoon for a three mile walk along the north beach of Swanage. Before we reached the beach we were stopped by some very polite students who wanted to ask our views on coastal development, this done we carried on along a footpath through the Ballard Private Estate.  We stood taking in the view for a while then headed on down to the deserted beach.

The view looking back at Swanage from the cliffs above the beach.

As a result of a landslide, this tree ended up on the beach.

We walked on further than we have before, it helped that there was a spring tide today so the low tide that was due in a couple of hours would be very low.

I spotted this mermaids purse on the stones, this at one time contained the eggs of the lesser spotted dogfish (I think!).

Just how I like Swanage - empty!

The cliffs at Ballard Down.

There are amazing colours in the cliffs, greens and blue/greys mixed in amongst rich reds.

Such a calm place.

I couldn't help but be reminded of dolly mixtures when I saw this beach hut - it definitely stands out!
