I'd been wanting to visit Studland for awhile; I knew it had been a while since we'd roamed these ways, though hadn't realised our last walk here was back in early March 2020. The long sweeping bay with it's broad sandy beach and Couch/Lyme/Marram grass colonized dunes were as beautiful and wind swept as I remembered them; as behind the dunes were the willow and phragmites fringed ponds and lakes of brackish water which pock the peninsular creating rare niche habitats. I've mentioned before, Purbeck, including Studland, appear miraculous in their apparent wild timelessness when their immediate vicinity to BCP, which must be the biggest urban sprawl and the south coast is considered. A wonderful place. Studland that is, BCP not so much.
