Welcome to Christchurch

The Saxon town of Christchurch is an historic place with glistening golden sands on one side and tone green vistas of the New Forest the other. It's the ideal holiday destination for combining some interesting and fun days out with relaxing on the coast.

Christchurch is peacefully placed between two rivers and home to the largest parish church in England. With all it has to offer, Christchurch is a superb choice for a summer getaway. There is so much to see and enjoy as the sun shines and the days get longer. Cobbled streets lead to the historic ruins of the town’s castle overlooking the river while beautiful parks and glades open to life upon the water at the quayside.  On a bright day the town's historic architecture looks striking. As we head into summer, it provides more chances to enjoy the outdoors; visit the Norman house, take a pleasant stroll on the quay or spend a day out at family friendly Avon Beach - holder of a blue flag. Meander through the historic streets during your coastal getaway. This pretty bijou town boasts a thriving high street; a weekly open-air market and a mix of independent boutiques and shops including a choice of exciting and welcoming eateries.
