My most favourite part of Dorset. I’ve been visiting Bramble Bush bay for over 60 years now. Loved watching this video. Thank you so much. Just for your interest The first house boat, “Sea shanty” was the top of a flying boat pontoon. (I have a picture somewhere), BOAC used to come in and out of Poole harbour. The fifth house boat is a converted life boat and the last one is a converted wide beam narrow boat, which does still float. The other ones are in the boat yard at Bramble bush over wintering
Well, that was a real treat , thank you for taking us along. I was hoping you'd do a trip to the Agglestone one day. Brownsea was always a mysterious and magical place to me as a child, probably because we were not allowed to go there! I was an avid Enid Blyton reader then, and I believe her Five go to Treasure Island was inspired by Brownsea.
Ah, thanks so much Angela 🙂 Yes, there are a few mysterious places in Dorset and probably much of that mystery comes from childhood. I'm visiting another mysterious place in next week's video 🙂
There is of course, Pottery Pier at the western end of Brownsea, and there are huge amounts of broken pottery lying on the bottom there, some I understand has been identified as Roman.
What a fantastic video terry We have walked on this side many times with the dog as it’s a bit quieter it’s beautiful the commentary was brilliant as per usual especially about the house boats and the boat wreckage we stayed at greenlands farm a few years ago which was amazing but the mosquitos were awfull 😂 it was fascinating to hear about the rock and how the shape has changed over the years best of all was those superb shots of the sunset can’t wait till next week as we are down for a week as usual in studland for a break PS last time we were visiting was November and went for a walk along studland as the sun came up and had the pleasure of meeting a seal also there is a rumour there are some beaver sightings down on little sea thanks for sharing your walks with us much appreciated ❤
Ah, thanks so much for your lovely comment Jane, I really appreciate your encouragement! I found out a bit more about the houseboats from another follower - apparently one is an up cycled flying boat pontoon, one is an up cycled narrow boat, and the third is another up cycled lifeboat :) Interesting to hear about the beavers - I know they are trying to encourage them back but I hadn't realised they might be at Studland :) Thanks again Jane
I remember the wreck arriving. It's an old lifeboat that was apparently used as a fishing boat before being used as a liveaboard. It was originally painted red and had a small rectangular white cabin on it with portholes I always knew it as 'the red wreck'. It arrived in about 1980, was derelict on arrival and was used as a liveaboard by a particularly loathsome individual whose behaviour got him asked to leave by the harbour authorities. I went on board it just after it was dumped and it was vile, full of used engine oil and rubbish. Unfortunately this meant that Steven,a nice chap who lived on a boat about 50 yards away was also asked to leave.
Interesting to hear more about the wreck, thank you 😀 A lot of old ship lifeboats were repurposed after the war and I had wondered if this was one of those. I feel sorry for the guy that was asked to leave just because of his obnoxious neighbour 😡
@@terryyarrow1230 Yes, it was a shame as Steven used to keep the place clean. I seem to remember the wreck had a Swedish name on it, but it's a long time ago now.
