Description |
 |
 |
|
| Mudeford Sandbank
is one of the country's most exclusive beach hut enclaves,
a beachhut here can cost over
£100,000.
The sandbank adjoins the ancient headland of Hengistbury
Head and forms a natural barrier between Christchurch harbour
and the open sea. The area is designated a Site of Nature Conservation
Interest and can only be reached by foot, bicycle or land train
from Hengistbury Head or by ferry from Mudeford and Christchurch
Quays.
There are about 300 beach huts on the sandbank,
and they are unique because it is possible to sleep in them
overnight, consequently a community spirit has grown up here. |
