Map 1: Ordnance Survey Map showing location details of Hengistbury Head

Key:

This area is already heavily defended with rock groynes which attempt to reduce the movement of beach material along the shore caused by longshore drift

Mudeford Spit has been created by longshore drift and is a landform of depositino. It is mainly used for beach huts as seen in Photo A. The spit is important for tourism.
