Hengistbury Head, History and Geology

by Bill Rees

Hengistbury Head is a wild and desolate headland on the south coast of England near Bournemouth. A place of beauty with magnificent views across the Solent, it is visited by over one million people a year. Few know of her rich and varied history or how Hengistbury Head was so badly damaged by careless industrial activity in the 19th century.
