Freshwater Bay, Portland
Cheyne House is prominent. To its right is a hump which is the old Admiralty pump house, which once pumped fresh water up from a tank below fed by a natural spring issuing from the cliff. The bay was once more pronounced, but there was 19th century tipping of unwanted quarry debris into the sea forming the near slopes. The quarry concerned was inland, and a tramway was used to transport the rock to the tip.

Southwell, gate
At the top of the path from Southwell Road to Freshwater Bay. It is not clear why the gate is padlocked; access to vehicles would be difficult!
