Old Harry Rocks, taken this afternoon
The chalk stacks of Old Harry Rocks point out from Handfast Point towards the Needles on the Isle of Wight, nearly 20 miles away across Bournemouth Bay. ‘Old Harry’ is an archaic name for Satan, and is usually used to describe the stack at the seaward end of the rocks. In the nineteenth century Harry had a wife, but he was widowed in 1896 when this accompanying stack collapsed into the sea. A tide race forms off the rocks, which is an interesting place for playing (or being played with) when a swell is running.
Old Harry guards the entrance to Studland Bay, a sandy beach and nature reserve which is popular with naturists. But not in February.
