Furzey Island
Furzey Island is an island in Poole Harbour, in the English county of Dorset; it lies to the south of the larger Brownsea Island. Seen from the water or adjoining land, it looks like another wild pineclad island; however, hidden in the trees are twenty-two oil wells split into two well-sites for the Wytch Farm Oil Field, which is linked by pipeline to Hamble on Southampton Water.| Tap on a place to explore it |
