Portland: entrance to Verne prison
Having zigzagged all the way up Verne Common Road, we are met with this tunnel entrance to the Verne prison; no unauthorised access is available beyond this point. The traffic lights appear to be because of the width restriction rather than the security, because they turned green as soon as they sensed my approach.

Trees, Portland
The view over Portland Harbour and up the fleet beyond is magnificent but omnipresent from the higher levels of this part of Portland. The presence of trees however is a lot rarer, owing to the high level of exposure of the island. These are to be found by the northern boundary wall of the naval cemetery. More trees exist further south by a bowls club Image .
