City/town information
Local towns and villages that we think are worth a visit if you have time
Seaside or countryside? Christchurch has both. Beautiful winning beaches, coastal nature reserves & heritage attractions, plus plenty of shops, restaurants & cafes to enjoy. Visit the historic Priory and Castle ruins. Fancy a bit of shopping? Wander down the high street towards the Priory and pop in to many independently owned shops. Further afield visit Bournemouth or the New Forest.
