If you live near the south coast of England, or have visited on holiday, you may have been to the beach at Hengistbury Head in Dorset, or have walked along Mudeford Spit admiring the colourful beach huts which are among the most expensive in the country.
Hengistbury Head is relatively wild and is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). It is protected because it has a variety of habitats and some unusual plants and animals including the natterjack toad, one of Britain’s rarest species. As a Scheduled Monument, Hengistbury is also internationally important for both its archaeology and its geology.
