🏖️ Скала Дьявола

🏖️ Скала Дьявола

Mon, Jul 27, 6:45 AM
From Туры по Англии
4.9

🏖️ Четыре мили прекрасных пляжей, протянувшихся вдоль защищенных вод залива [Studland Bay,](https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/studland-bay/features/the-beaches-of-studland-bay) могут похвастаться потрясающими пейзажами, мягким песком, знаковыми скальными образованиями и увлекательными «активностями»: от развлечений с ведром и лопатой до водных видов спорта. Гребля, каякинг, прогулка на катере, сноркелинг, падлбординг или винд-сёрфинг – все что пожелаете! Пляжи полуострова Studland простираются от границы скал The Old Harry Rocks до залива Shell Bay, откуда цепной паром соединяет Poole и Bournemouth. **🏞️ Восточная точка Юрского побережья –** скалы Старого Гарри (**[Old Harry Rocks](https://www.visit-dorset.com/listing/old-harry-rocks/130693301/)**). Когда-то между Purbeck и Isle of Wight простиралась длинная скальная полоса. Морские волны, дожди и ветра, словно художник, оттачивали меловую скалу, создавая пещеры и арки. Вскоре силами природы верхушки арок были обрушены, а на их месте образовались острые утесы Old Harry Rocks. У этой природной достопримечательности есть три легенды. Первая рассказывает о том, что на этих скалах спал дьявол по имени Старый Гарри. Отсюда и появилось название Old Harry Rocks. Согласно другой легенде, скалы были названы в честь Гарри Пайя – печально известного пирата и контрабандиста, который предпочитал прятать свой корабль позади меловых образований. Третья легенда гласит, что в IX веке побережье Англии собирались атаковать викинги. Их набег был сорван морским штормом. Во время атаки утонул граф Гарольд, которого скандинавские боги превратили в один из меловых столбов – Old Harry Rocks. 🏰В графстве Dorset, на вершине холма полуострова (или, как его чаще называют, острова) **Purbeck**, сохранились руины одного из самых живописных исторических памятников Англии. Это развалины древнего замка **[Corfe Castle](https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/corfe-castle)**. Его многовековая «жизнь» богата историческими событиями и окутана загадочными легендами. Считается, что первые поселения людей возникли здесь уже в VI в. до н.э. Множество кровопролитных войн помнят холмы Purbeck, на самом высоком из которых в 875 году Альфред Великий начал строительство крепости. Пожалуй, ни один замок в Англии не сможет сравниться с Corfe Castle по числу пережитых войн, коварных интриг и печальных историй. В 978 году собственной мачехой здесь был убит юный король Англии Эдуард, а во второй половине XI века, после нормандского завоевания, строительство замка продолжил Вильгельм, а затем его сын Генрих I, после смерти которого беспощадная борьба за крепость продолжалась. 📝 План поездки: 📍 **07:45 Встреча** в отеле **[Novotel London West](https://goo.gl/maps/WJDJWDLm2jQ2)**, 1 Shortlands, W6 8DR (рядом с Hammersmith Station) 📍11:00 — 13:45 Белые пески Studland Beach и прогулка к [Old Harry Rocks](https://www.visit-dorset.com/listing/old-harry-rocks/130693301/) (опционально) 📍14:00 — 16:00 Город [Swanage](https://www.visit-dorset.com/explore/areas-to-visit/swanage/): променад, [пирс](http://www.swanagepiertrust.com/), тропа искусства [Swanage Seen Art Trail](https://www.quarrgallery.com/), музей истории, бухта и песчаные пляжи, время на обед 📍16:00 Отправление 📍19:00 London, Hammersmith 👣 Продолжительность путешествия зависит от погодных условий и дорожных пробок. ✅ Включено в стоимость: ⚜️ Аудиогид на русском ⚜️ Тур-менеджер, говорящий на русском и английском языках ⚜️ Транспорт, организация мероприятия ⚜️ Профессиональный водитель с наградой RoSPA Gold ⚜️ Администрация и помощь во время путешествия ⚜️ НДС и все налоги, комиссия платежной системы (карта/банк/PayPal) ❌ Не включено: ❌ Входные билеты: цены указаны в плане путешествия ❌ Питание во время путешествия: индивидуальный выбор ❌ Трансфер в место встречи и после завершения поездки ❌ Остановки автобуса для посадки/высадки пассажиров по пути следования ❌ [Страховка](https://www.coverwise.co.uk/) в случае травм, потери багажа и личных вещей, отмены тура в последнюю минуту ❌ [Evebus Club](https://evebus.com/ru/evebus-club/) – переносы броней без потерь, [выбор посадочного](https://evebus.com/ru/seating-plan) места ❌ Экскурсовод: £20 с человека при условии набора группы от 6-ти участников 🎒 Что взять с собой: ☑️ Воду/еду по желанию ☑️ Фотокамеру и зарядку для телефона ☑️ Мелочь для чаевых и отличное настроение ☑️ При необходимости не более одной ручной клади весом до 10 кг (40x30x20 см) ✳️ Обо всем остальном мы позаботимся.
