Wytch Lake Jetty There are relatively few points of access to the southern (quiet) half of Poole Harbour. This is mainly because the harbour on this side is fractured into a series of inlets which have marshy banks. One access point however is just north of Wytch Farm, this jetty being reached across a reed bed at the end of a track. This arm of the sea, which is fed by the Corfe River, is known as Wytch Lake.
