Bran Point
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bran Point is a small headland on the Dorset coast in southern England, about half way between the small villages of Ringstead to the east and Osmington Mills to the west. There is a picturesque cliff-top path between the two villages via Bran Point.
The name derives from the brown colouring of the rock forming the cliffs of the headland. The geology of the area is particularly interesting. The coastline in the area is formed from rocks and shingle with exposed cliffs behind.
