Bran Point
Bran Point is a small headland on the Dorset coast in southern England, about halfway between the small villages of Ringstead to the east and Osmington Mills to the west. There is a picturesque cliff-top path between the two villages via Bran Point.
The name derives from the brown colouring of the rock forming the cliffs of the headland, caused in part by residual oil deposits.
