The Blue Pool, Furzebrook From the early 17th century the Blue Pool at Furzebrook was dug for clay to make high quality pottery and clay pipes. The colloidal clay particles in the water disperse light in such a way as to give the pool a greenish-blue colour. In 1985 it was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and many rare species may be found in the locality. The pool itself supports no life forms whatsoever. <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://blue.pool.users.btopenworld.com/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://blue.pool.users.btopenworld.com/">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>

Creech Grange near Wareham, Dorset Creech Grange is an elegant country house, south of Wareham at the foot of the Purbeck Hills, built by Sir Oliver Lawrence, who acquired the land from the former Bindon Abbey, near Wool, after Henry VIII had abolished the monasteries in 1539. Only fragments remain of the original house built by Lawrence before his death in 1559, partly because it was damaged by fire by the Parliamentarians during the Civil War, and finally because in 1846 the entire front was taken down and rebuilt in the local Tudor style.
