The Sandbanks car ferry crossing Poole Harbour Dorset UK
The Sandbanks car ferry crossing Poole Harbour Dorset UK. Sandbanks Ferry is a vehicular chain ferry which crosses the entrance of Poole Harbour in the English county of Dorset. The route runs from Sandbanks to Studland and in doing so connects the coastal parts of the towns of Bournemouth and Poole with Swanage and the Isle of Purbeck. This avoids a 25 mile journey by road. The ferry along with the toll road that connects with it on the Studland side is owned by the Bournemouth Swanage Motor Road and Ferry Company which initiated the ferry crossing in 1923. The current ferry boat named Bramble Bush Bay was put into service in 1994 and can carry up to 48 cars. It is the fourth vessel to operate on the route.
