[edit] Eight islands in Poole Harbour
From the article's lede:
- Brownsea Island is the largest of eight islands in Poole Harbour
I know of Brownsea Island, Furzey Island, Green Island, Long Island, and Round Island. What are the other three?. -- Chris j wood 11:15, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
The remaining three are: Giggis Island lies in the West of the Harbour near the river Piddle outlet. Pergis Island lies to the North of the Harbour in the Holes Bay. Finally Drove Island to the south of the Harbour is in Brands Bay. LordHarris 14:24, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] history of the island
I can't see when or how the island became the property of the National Trust. Apepper 18:03, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
