Welcome to Christchurch

Welcome to Christchurch: an historic town with glistening golden sands on one side and the rolling vistas of the New Forest on the other.

Take It In: this ancient part of the world is the gateway to 15 glorious miles of idyllic coastline with award-winning beaches and Blue Flags aplenty. Steeped in history, every nook of this beautiful and quaint town will surprise you: from its bustling High Street to its luscious parks, active watersports and more. When you visit we implore you to Enjoy Summer Safely, taking heed of our guidelines so you can Know Before You Go and explore this fantastic resort knowing you are in the safest of hands.
