All about Christchurch

People come to this riverside Dorset town with a coastal harbour to ease back into a relaxed pace of life and enjoy simple pleasures. Christchurch is a place to go sailing, fishing, and windsurfing; take riverside walks; or relax on the six sandy beaches that stretch for four miles along the coast, or head into the lovely nearby New Forest. Christchurch’s cheerful centre, retaining the original Saxon street layout, is full of independent shops, old smugglers’ pubs, craft ale bars, and tea houses.

There’s much enjoyment to be had around Christchurch Harbour, where the estuaries of the rivers Avon and Stour meet and form a wide expanse before eking out through a narrow gap into Christchurch Bay and the English Channel. At the upper end of the harbour at Christchurch Quay, Place Mill watermill has been turned into an art gallery, and kids can play on the Quomps, a grassy area with a playground and paddling pool. Hire a boat here, take a ferry across the river, or follow the pretty Convent Walk by the stream.

What are the top things to do in Christchurch?

Mudeford Quay

At the entrance of Christchurch Harbour, Mudeford Quay has spectacular sea views, fishermen unloading their catch, restaurants, and shops selling crabbing gear. You can take a ferry to the golden beaches of Mudeford Sandbanks, a spit lined with colourful beach huts, and walk to the Hengistbury Head nature reserve, an important archaeological site that dates back to the last Ice Age.

Castles

Christchurch Castle and Norman House is a rare remaining example of Norman architecture, where you can explore a mound-top tower and a domestic home with its circular chimney miraculously intact. An infant by comparison, the lavish Highcliffe Castle, built in the 1830s in the Romantic style, was the former home of the founder of a famous department store in London.

Red House Museum

This former Georgian workhouse, which employed poor women and children, is now a museum that tells the story of Christchurch’s history, starting from the Ice Age, covering Saxon rulers and life during the Victorian era.
