Poole Harbour is in east Dorset, south of the town of Poole. Its northern side is largely covered with housing but its western and southern reaches remain a natural complex of mudflats, saltmarshes, inlets and reedbeds rising to the heaths and grasslands of the Purbecks. Four rivers, the Frome, the Piddle, the Corfe and the Sherford drain into Poole Harbour from the west draining to the sea through the constricting headlands of North and South Haven (Sandbanks and Studland) in the east. There are five larger islands that provide valuable sanctuaries for some species, especially the red squirrel, which thrives on three of them.
Poole Harbout is also the second largest natural harbour in the world, after Sydney in Australia. This shot looks north showing Remsptone Forest |
