Gaze from South Haven peninsula across to neighbouring Sandbanks. While one is a rugged sandscape of dunes and heathland, the other’s skyline sparkles with white-washed condos and glamorous yachts.
Why have two places that started life in the same way ended up so different? This trail walks through centuries of coastline to uncover some of the secrets of how these two sister headlands developed.
