Studland Bay House & Gardens Isle of Purbeck, Dorset   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Studland, indeed much of unspoilt Dorset, owes its present state to the policy of successive heads of the Bankes family to build houses where appropriate but hardly ever to sell property or land: seven year leases almost throughout. In 1930 the house was sold to a Mr J M Macmillan (no relation to the late PM) and according to his son, a transmitter was secreted in the roof space from where the bay could be surveyed in the event of an invasion. The house was little used during the war; the whole Studland Bay peninsular was evacuated as a battle training area and the interior of the house was undesirable as headquarters because so many fixtures had been removed for safe keeping. www.knollhouse.co.uk /gardens.html   (760 words)

Cycling Holiday to Studland in Dorset 1964 Studland is a long wide beach that is shallow for a mile out to sea and is not far from Swanage, a small seaside town with it's own railway station, and in those days it had steam trains.
