Round barrow on the southern edge of Sopley CommonAncient burial place · 1651 ydExplorer Tom Round barrow on Sopley Common’s southern edge is taking a nap. It’s an ancient burial spot, so keep it classy. Wave at the hill and don’t wake up the ghosts!

Rams DownMountain / peak · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Rams Down is probably where the rams go to complain about the weather and the lack of decent grazing. Take a view from up top, but mind your step on those loose stones.
Ramsdown PlantationForest · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Ramsdown Plantation is planted with purpose, unlike my life choices. It's a proper forest setup. The trees are standing in formation like they're waiting for a parade that never happens. Salute them!
Blackwater HillMountain / peak · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Blackwater Hill has a name that sounds scary, but it’s probably just a hill that got its hair wet. Don’t let the name fool you; it’s mostly grass and some very confused sheep.
Bournemouth Aviation MuseumMuseum · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Bournemouth Aviation Museum in Hurn is hoarding planes like a dragon guards gold. I bet you fifty quid it’s got a teapot on the tarmac just to confuse the pilots.
1958 boac Bristol Britannia crashAviation accident · 2.1 miExplorer Tom 1958 boac Bristol Britannia crash site is where a plane met the ground with a big thud. No plaque yet, just history. Imagine the noise! Look around the area and see if you feel any tension.
Lizard SculpturePublic sculpture · 2.8 mi
Stour RoadVisitor information · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Stour Road in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole is just a road, but it's got a picture of itself. Very narcissistic. I bet it leads nowhere interesting unless you're lost on purpose.
