Located west of Meyrick Park golf course, this wild wooded area is steeped in local legend surrounding Captain Pug, a smuggler who allegedly buried his treasure there. Despite its amusing name, the area offers ecological richness, with a diverse canopy of trees and bustling wildlife, including woodpeckers and squirrels. Pug’s Hole reflects Dorset’s quirky geography, adding charm beyond typical tourist attractions. Its history serves as a reminder of Bournemouth’s unique and colorful past.
