The Ringstead Bay area has its fair share of Second World War relics. The beach is lined with Pilloxes from the invasion period during the early years of the war; later these defences would have served as protection for a radar station which continued to see service throughout the war and also through the Cold War. The top image is of one of the wartime radar buildings which would have collated the information from the nearby wooden radar masts; the lower image is of a Type 25 pillbox variant, variant as it is larger than the standard Type 25. The beach around the bay has several more examples of various wartime defences and in various conditions.
