Hengistbury head, near Christchurch.

A lovely walk at Hengistbury head this morning. It's always a great family walk. We went with our daughters and young grandchildren. First parking at the main car park and walking down to the beach to look for pebbles. Then it was up onto the headland. It's a great path for taking a buggy, just two places where they need to be lifted manually. We enjoyed a coffee up there before returning to the spit and waiting for a ride on the Noddy train. This always runs up and down to the beach huts and children and dogs love a ride back to the Hiker cafe for lunch. You can't beat their Bacon and mushroom baps. Car parking now at summer rate. £4 for 3 hours.
