A Chalk Headland, upon which can be found a row of ex coastguard cottages, a WWII Lookout/machine gun emplacement, the ditch of an Iron Age hill fort (the rest has fallen in the sea) and the foundations of a hut, constructed from cob and an upturned boat, used by Llewellyn Powys.
White Nothe is also the location of Smugglers Path, a precipitous narrow track running from the cliff top to the sea, made famous in the J Meade Falkner book 'Moonfleet'... this path is best ascended rather than descended.
The beach to the west of White Nothe is commonly used by naturists - be warned, unlike Studland, this beach is shingle. Those little stones get everywhere.....
