Travel Guide

The Purbeck Hills

The Purbeck Hills and the Purbeck region of Dorset really comes to life in Michael Hambling’s novels.

The Isle of Purbeck is not a true island but a peninsula,bordered by the English Channel to the south and east; and by the marshy lands of the River Frome and Poole Harbour to the north.

Agglestone Rock

There is a body found at this natural landmark. The Studland and Godlingston Heath National Nature Reserve just north of here is the place to really see the area and its natural habitats

Purbeck Hills

Old Harry Rocks are two chalk sea stacks located at Handfast Point, on the Isle of Purbeck.

Swanage is at the centre of this novel as the hospital features heavily as does the sea front where many of the characters like to take time out and get away from it all.
