Coast is new book containing stunning pictures of the Bournemouth Coast Path.
Copies of the 176 page A4 hardback book, published by the Bournemouth Daily Echo, suddenly appeared in local shops days before Christmas. There had been a delay with printing. Most of the pictures are by Echo photographers who took to the air for many of them.
Swanage and Mudeford look magnificent from the air as does Old Harry Rocks and there are unusual aerial shots of Sandbanks with Shell Bay in the distance and Old Harry Rocks.Â
In Bournemouth there is a glimpse down on to the private clifftop gardens alongside Branksome Dene Chine and a long view from Toft Zig-Zag looking towards Christchurch Harbour.Â
Views from the ground include Swanage Bay from the famous pillars and close-ups of Mudeford Spit beach huts. There is a surprise angle for the Chewton Bunny photograph which is the eastern boundary for the book. Highlights of the Dorset Coast Path are also featured.
Coast is available from Echo offices in Bournemouth and Swanage as well as bookshops including Borders in Bournemouth; £14.95.
