World War II Pillbox and Fortification, based at the north end of Middle Beach, Studland in Dorset

Constructed in 1943 by Canadian engineers and named after their base back in Ontario.
It was one of many pillboxes constructed as a line of defence against the impending invasion of the German army.

This concrete bunker has walls a metre thick and would have offered a superb view of any naval vessels approaching, although not adequately equipped to repel the enemy.

Please be aware that to access this Pillbox requires you to walk on uneven surfaces and avoid visiting when high tide is approaching!

Further up on the clifftop is a fortification that housed a large gun and lookout post.

A large calibre gun was mounted in this circle and the securing bolts can still be clearly seen in the photo. Ammunition for this gun and rifles were stored in the basement of a secure bunker set into the hillside.

Rows of Dragon's Teeth can be found by one of the car parks at the end of the clifftop and the start of the peninsula.
They were placed there to defend against any advance by tanks that could have landed in the bay. 
Most of these concrete structures are still standing and in good condition considering their age (80 years)
