a trip to Hengistbury Head

Once upon a time we took Jinks, still a puppy, on a visit to Hengistbury Head, a beautiful part of the south coast.

The beach huts, in the main photo, are highly prized and fetch amazing prices: a hut is currently on the market at £440,000.
It's a 20 minute walk over the Head or a ride in the Noddy train to reach the huts:
no shops/parking nearby
overnight stays only from March to October
no electricity or running water
showers and toilets in a communal block...

The ferry plies its trade across the swirling currents of the narrow channel between Hengistbury and Mudeford where fresh fish is for sale.

The views from the Head, over to the Isle of Wight and along the south coast of England, are spectacular.

Time for a regular autumn visit.....

So if you buy a beach hut do you own the little pice of land it is on
?

Wow beach huts with solar panels! They look a good size but even so £440,000 sounds an outrageous price to me….I’m not a lover if the seaside but if you are I suppose you might long to buy one!!
