Designated a site of special scientific interest
The one-and-a-half kilometre long Hengistbury Head separates Poole Bay and Christchurch Bay and encloses Christchurch Harbour on its landward side.
Most of the headland remains undeveloped and has been designated a site of special scientific interest because of the wide variety of plant and animal life it supports. Hengistbury is a south facing pebble beach below imposing limestone cliffs.
