Purbeck Panorama
The view over Poole Harbour, one of the larger of the World's almost landlocked harbours. To the right is the open sea of Poole Bay with the beaches of Bournemouth on the far side and those of Studland nearer right. The sea enters Poole Harbour where the Sandbanks Ferry operates (see the note.) Poole itself is at the back of the Harbour and is a base for Channel Island and Cherbourg vehicle ferries, normal cargo ships, MOD vessels and a great many pleasure craft. In this shot is also an oil producing area. My OS map depicted about six oil wells round the Harbour's shores. All but one are discretely hidden within the trees. Within the Harbour is Brownsea Island which has a connection with the early Scouts' movement when, in 1907, Baden-Powell himself set up a camp for 22 boys from different social backgrounds (Wikipedia.)
