Hengistbury Head is a headland jutting into the English Channel between Bournemouth and Mudeford in the English county of Dorset. Hengistbury Head is a site of international importance in terms of its archaeology and is scheduled as an Ancient Monument.
Declared a Local Nature Reserve in 1990, Hengistbury Head and its surroundings form part of the Christchurch Harbour Site of Special Scientific Interest. Hengistbury Head is also a Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, an Environmentally Sensitive Area and a Site of Nature Conservation Interest. The name Hengistbury Head refers to the immediate area; the elevated portion is called Warren Hill.
There has been human activity on the site since the Upper Palaeolithic. During the Victorian era, it was heavily quarried, and in recent years tourism has become significant – it receives more than one million visitors annually. The various habitats on the Head provide a home for many plants, birds and insects, some of them rare and critically endangered. Erosion remains a threat to the site, although long-term projects are intended to secure it for the future.
Hengistbury Head is a sandstone headland forming part of Southbourne, which is a suburb of the town of Bournemouth to the west; the nearest major settlement is Christchurch to the north. It is the most easterly part of the Borough of Bournemouth, and marks the most easterly point of Poole Bay. Historically part of Hampshire, the Local Government Act 1972 designated the area a part of Dorset. The northern slope of the hill tailing off towards the sea forms Mudeford spit, the sand bar closing Christchurch Harbour from the south.

Bournemouth is a seaside resort on the southern coast of England. It's known for having 7 miles of beaches, Victorian architecture and buzzing nightlife in areas such as the Triangle. The resort is also home to Bournemouth Pier, an activity centre with an obstacle course, a climbing wall and a zip line. The 2-mile long Bournemouth Gardens offer rock gardens, an aviary and plant species from 3 continents.
Bournemouth is a large coastal resort town on the south coast of England directly to the east of the Jurassic Coast, a 96-mile (155 km) World Heritage Site. Bournemouth's growth really accelerated with the arrival of the railway and it became a recognised town in 1870. Historically part of Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974. Since 1997, the town has been administered by a unitary authority, giving it autonomy from Dorset County Council although it remains part of the ceremonial county. The local council is Bournemouth Borough Council.
The town centre has notable Victorian architecture and the 202-foot (62 m) spire of St Peter's Church, one of three Grade I listed churches in the borough, is a local landmark. Bournemouth's location has made it a popular destination for tourists, attracting over five million visitors annually with its beaches and popular nightlife. The town is also a regional centre of business, home of the Bournemouth International Centre or BIC, and a financial sector that is worth more than £1,000 million in Gross Value Added.
Originally an RAF airfield, Bournemouth Airport was transferred to the Civil Aviation Authority in 1944 and was the UK's only intercontinental airport before the opening of Heathrow in 1946. There are two stations in the town, Bournemouth railway station and Pokesdown railway station to the east. The principal route to the town centre is the A338 spur road, a dual carriageway that connects to the A31 close to the Hampshire border.
The town has a professional football club, AFC Bournemouth, known as the Cherries, which was promoted to the Championship in 2013 and Premier League in 2015. AFC Bournemouth play at Dean Court near Boscombe in Kings' Park, 2 miles (3 km) east of the town centre.

Hengistbury Head, Southbourne, Bournemouth, Dorset, England ( 6 )
I first visited this ancient site over 50 years ago when my family use to holiday around the Hampshire and Dorset area. The new pathways, have been resurfaced for wheelchair users, but they do not give mention how a person in a wheelchair navigates the steep climb and steps to get to the top. The views across to the Isle of Wight are great on a clear day. But in all that time I never strolled along the Mudeford Sandbank to the other side of Mudeford Quay until March 2013. Hence these video's and photo's. Hengistbury Head Local Nature Reserve is owned and managed by Bournemouth Borough Council and it is a steeped in history the headland with scenic views of Christchurch Harbour, Isle of Wight and Bournemouth. The region was originally named Hynesbury Head. However, after the discovery of the Iron Age artefacts--and in apparent confusion over a reference to the area as Hedenesburia--it was renamed Hengistbury Head after the Jutish king Hengest.
Stone Age:~ Long before this, the site was occupied during the Upper Palaeolithic. There is evidence of an open settlement of the Creswellian culture on the hill in the middle of the headland dating to around 10,500 BC. At the time, this hill would have overlooked a large river valley that was to become the English Channel. Later, once the sea had inundated the surrounding valley, Mesolithic hunter gatherers exploited the site and Neolithic stone tools have been found but it was not until the Bronze Age that visible traces of the site's occupations are apparent. Bronze Age:~ Eleven Bronze Age round barrows sit on the promontory with two more a little further inland. Numerous finds including Early Bronze Age axes, along with amber and gold jewellery were recovered from these monuments. Pottery found nearby to the barrows also shows visitation during 1700-1400 BC. In around 700 BC, a small settlement to the very north of the headland was established; also around this time, the headland was cut off from the mainland by the construction of two banks and ditches. These earthworks turned Hengistbury Head into a fortified settlement area which seems to have grown over succeeding centuries until it became an important port.
Iron Age:~ One side of the Head is defended by large earthworks, called the double dykes, similar to those found at Maiden Castle. These date to about 700 BC Due to the high concentration of iron ore in the area, this location became a significant trading port, trading worked metal--iron, silver, and bronze--with the Continent in return for wine, tools, and pottery. The Iron Age port at Hengistbury Head forms a final site in a small chain of fortified earthworks, starting from Hambledon Hill, and also including Hod Hill, Spetisbury Rings, Buzbury Rings, Badbury Rings and Dudsbury Camp. Roman occupation:~ Under the Romans, Hengistbury Head was initially left alone, possibly as a result of its distance from Roman centres of power. However, as Roman rule expanded, trade was moved away from the Head to other Roman ports. Consequently, the region saw a decline in prosperity, and indeed, by about the time the Romans left ( c.410 AD ), the area was abandoned.
Medieval use:~ he area was not substantially reoccupied until Alfred the Great decided to rebuild the harbour as a defence against raiders. He built the town that later became Christchurch, on the north side of the harbour. Access to Salisbury up the River Avon made this a more strategic place. The Head may have been used for harbour defence at this time. Nineteenth century:~ From 1848 to 1872, the Hengistbury Mining Company - formed by a Christchurch-based merchant, John E. Holloway - extracted ironstone boulders. These form the base of Hengistbury Head, and the removal of a substantial quantity has weakened the headland. The quarry resulted in a loss of about a third of the Head, mainly by erosion since the quarry closed. The silt being washed down also threatened the ecology of the salt marsh below. This has been reduced by building a dam, in 1976, to create a pool. Holloway brought coal from Southampton, and took the ironstone as ballast for the return journey.
