Christchurch

Just a few miles along the coast from Bournemouth lies Christchurch, a pretty town that offers scenic harbour and riverside walks, beautiful countryside, and heritage attractions.

Natural beauty and history

Famous for its majestic Priory and castle ruins, there’s the opportunity for a tranquil walk around the Priory grounds, following a stream that runs alongside under shady trees until it joins the picturesque harbour.

Christchurch’s harbour and numerous nature reserves are wildlife havens that are ideal for birdwatching and, with the New Forest National Park on its doorstep, all the family can enjoy time together in the fresh air. Whether it’s cycling, sailing, walking or golf, there’s an outdoor activity for everyone.

Feeling hungry? You’ll be spoilt for choice

Whether it’s afternoon tea by the quay watching the boats, traditional fish and chips on the beach listening to the sea or a romantic meal by the harbour as the sun sets, eating out in Christchurch is a pleasure.

Christchurch’s Food Festival in May is extremely popular and an opportunity to sample a huge range of tasty local fare.

Beaches with beautiful views

There are excellent sandy beaches nearby, including Friars Cliff, with magnificent views of the Isle of Wight and Christchurch Bay.
