Bears, Wolves and Barges

By Sally Bowers- amateur historian. Meet at the far end fo the Hiker Cafe at Hengistbury Head.

Hengistbury Head has more known history than you could fit into a whole week of walks on this beautiful headland. Hear about the links to the iron ore and coal industries, the smugglers and their brave womenfolk and the story of the biggest house in England. Discover a link with the Wright Brothers in the Rolls Royce tragedy, and all in a place where reindeer and woolly mammoth once roamed free.
