Brownsea Island lies in Poole Harbour opposite the town of Poole in Dorset, England. It is the largest of eight islands in the harbour. The island can be reached by one of the public ferries or by private boat. There is a wharf and a small dock near the main castle. The island is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long and 0.75 miles (1.2 km) wide and consists of 500 acres (202.34 ha) of woodland (pine and oak), heathland and salt-marsh.[1]
The entire island, except the church and a few other buildings which are leased or managed by third parties, is owned by the National Trust. Most of the buildings are situated near the small landing stage. The northern portion of the island is a Nature Reserve managed by Dorset Wildlife Trust and an important habitat for birds; this part of the island has limited public access. A small portion to the south-east of the island, along with Brownsea Castle, is leased to the John Lewis Partnership for use as a holiday hotel for staff, and is not open to the public.
The island forms part of the Studland civil parish in the Purbeck local government district. It is within the South Dorset constituency of the House of Commons and the South West England constituency of the European Parliament.[2][3]
Brownsea Island Ferry trip June 2018, from Poole Quay, Poole, Dorset England. ( 8 )
Brownsea Island sits in Poole harbour it is the second largest natural harbour in the world, second only to Sydney harbour in Australia. Brownsea Island ( was also known as Branksea ) is the largest of the islands in Poole Harbour in the county of Dorset, England. The island is owned by the National Trust. Much of the island is open to the public and includes areas of woodland and heath with a wide variety of wildlife, together with cliff top views across Poole Harbour and the Isle of Purbeck. The island was the location of an experimental camp in 1907 that led to the formation of the Scout movement the following year. Access is by public ferry or private boat; in 2017 the island received 133,340 visitors. The ferry trip itself is well worth the time. When I went it was £11.50 return trip. But on the way back the ferry takes a scenic route round the islands to arrive back at Poole Quay.
The island was purchased by wealthy stockbroker Charles van Raalte who used the island as a residential holiday retreat. During this time the castle was renovated and served as host to famous visitors such as Guglielmo Marconi. Robert Baden-Powell, a close friend of the van Raaltes, hosted an experimental camp for boys on the island in the summer of 1907. Brownsea was largely self-supporting, with a kitchen garden and a dairy herd. Many of the pottery factory workers had stayed on after it closed, farming and working for the owners. Charles van Raalte died in Calcutta in 1907 and his wife eventually sold the island in 1925. In 1927 it was purchased at auction by Mary Bonham-Christie for £125,000. A recluse by nature, she ordered a mass eviction of the island's residents to the mainland. The National Trust then agreed to take over responsibility for the island if enough funds were raised and in 1962 it then purchased Brownsea for £100,000. Work was carried out to prepare the island for visitors; tracks were cleared through areas overgrown with rhododendrons and firebreaks were created to prevent repetition of the 1934 fire.
Brownsea Island lies in Poole Harbour opposite the town of Poole. It is the largest of eight islands in the harbour. The island can be reached by one of the public ferries or by private boat. There is a wharf and a small dock near the main castle. The island is about 1 1⁄2 miles ( 2.4 km ) long and 3⁄4 mile ( 1.2 km ) wide and consists of 500 acres of woodland ( pine and oak trees ), heathland and salt-marsh. The entire island, except the church and a few other buildings which are leased or managed by third parties, is owned by the National Trust. Most of the buildings are situated near the small landing stage. The northern portion of the island is a Nature Reserve managed by Dorset Wildlife Trust and an important habitat for birds; this part of the island has limited public access so as not to disturb the wildlife.. A small portion to the southeast of the island, along with Brownsea Castle, is leased to the John Lewis Partnership for use as a holiday hotel for staff, and is not open to the public. The island forms part of the Studland civil parish in the Purbeck local government district. It is within the South Dorset constituency of the House of Commons and the South West England constituency of the European Parliament.
In all the time I have lived in this area I never knew there was a very lovely Church on the Island and managed to take photos and videos of my visit there both inside and out. St Mary’s Church was built in 1853, the church remains very much as it was then - its organ is pumped by hand and the only lighting comes from candles. It's a Victorian church that isfixed in the past so with no electricity or water supply. But its regular spring and summer services can attract congregations between 3 and 300 - and it remains an important part of Brownsea's small island community. A Family Service is held at St.Mary’s at 3.00pm every Sunday from May to September.
