Helpfulness
Take a trip down to the Nothe Gardens, and stroll accross the beautiful paths, whilst admiring the beautiful seaview. Spent this past New Years there and it was exceptionally peaceful.
Usually best experienced during the early morning.

The Cerne Giant is nearly 60m high and 51m wide. It is one of 3 ancient figures cut into the English chalk downlands. The others being the Long Man of Wilmington and the Uffington White Horse in Berkshire.
This clearly phallic image is belived to be 1500 years old and is thought to represent the Roman god Hercules.

The world's largest collection of armoured vehicles, from WWI to the Gulf War. Over 300 tanks from 26 countries as well as medals, rifles etc.
You enter through a mock-up of a trench, an officer's office, field hospital and as you enter the main hall you are confronted by a huge tank bearing down over you. Very good displays. Large indoor halls hold the various armoured vehicles with clear information on each exhibit.
Open from 10.00 to 17.00
Entrance fee:
Adult = £8.00
Child = £6.00
Family (2+2) = £23.00
There is a good shop with some excellent models and well as other souvenirs, a cafe, picnic area and outdoor play area.
On the A31 in Bovington, Dorset.
