Buses to Bournemouth and Poole stop at the end of the road. There are an amazing 12 miles of sandy and shingle beaches adjacent to Christchurch. Most of them hold the prestigious blue flag award for cleanliness.
Mudeford Quay sits at the entrance of Christchurch Harbour and is the home of the towns thriving fishing community which provides much of the produce for the Quays fish stall. The picturesque Quay houses a handful of fisherman’s cottages and there are spectacular views along the coast and across to the Isle of Wight.
