HANDFAST POINT: There is a real sense of drama in
the views from Handfast Point, which overlooks Old Harry
Rocks. Don’t just shoot the classic view of Old Harry,
though; walk along the coastal path to the west to find
some alternatives to the usual compositions.
BET WEEN WINSPIT AND SEACOMBE: If you’re
shooting the old quarries of Winspit and Seacombe, you
can walk along the cliff path from one to the other and
there are some fabulous photo opportunities en route,
so keep your eyes open for unusual viewpoints.E MMETT’S HILL: Emmett’s Hill is a 15-minute level
walk from Renscombe car park, just outside the village of
Worth Matravers. With its far-reaching views over
Champman’s Pool to the west, it’s the perfect location for
a sunset shoot. Definitely one for your bucket list!DID YOU KNOW?
Children’s author Enid Blyton spent
a lot of time in Purbeck and used it as
inspiration for her books. Places such
as Corfe Castle took on a new character
as Kirrin Castle, which featured in the
Famous Five series of books.
Swanage was also the model
for Toytown in the Noddy
series of books.
