Portland: Chiswell Walled Garden
This garden stands on the site of a Jacobean Portland-stone house. In November 1824 a huge gale brought waves over the Chesil Bank, taking 26 lives and 80 houses with them. The village of Chiswell gradually declined, and the house on this site was demolished for the widening of the main road. The site was used in the Second World War to accommodate an concrete air-raid shelter, while in the 60s it was tarmacked over as a council yard.
It has recently been converted into this pleasant community garden, with assistance from the Countryside Agency and the Local Heritage Initiative.

Sea defences by the Cove House Inn, Chiswell
In the distance is the ridge of Chesil Beach, nearer the camera the boxy shape of 'Cove Inn Castle', while in the foreground is a section of lipped concrete seawall, protecting the Cove House Inn (just out of shot to the right).
The 'castle' is built of beach pebbles, contained in wire cages (mostly cube-shaped). I'm not altogether clear about its purpose, but imagine it is intended to stabilise this section of the shingle ridge. There are 'Danger - Keep off' signs, but local kids make use of it as an adventure playground. I notice that since I was here in May 2011 the authorities have given in to reality by providing steps to the top.
Incidentally, an Environment Agency sign attached to the 'castle' gives a grid reference (SY 6817 7382) which I am quite unable to reconcile with the mapping.

One of several small alleyways off Chiswell leading to the back side of Chesil Beach. They tend to end in the word Ope.
