Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Old Nick's Ground From the fault at Ballard Point the chalk strata dip towards the Foreland (or Handfast Point). The clifftop between this point and the headland is known as Old Nick's Ground, another of several allusions to the devil in local placenames. The name of the famed 'Old Harry' stack off the headland is another devillish euphemism. One of Henry VIII's forts (Studland Castle) was located on the cliffs here, but has since fallen victim to erosion of the chalk cliffs. Bournemouth can be seen in the distance across the bay. |
