Drove Island is a small uninhabited island in Brands Bay, Poole Harbour, in the county of Dorset, England. There are no buildings on the island and it consists of mostly marsh.[1]
The waters around the island are extremely shallow (usually around 48 cm) and it is only accessible by private boat.[2]
Drove Island lies within the civil parish of Studland. The parish was formerly part of the Purbeck local government district, but now forms part of Dorset unitary authority.[3]
