Christchurch
Christchurch, on the other hand, presents something of a gentle contrast to both Bournemouth and Poole. The history of the town, which lies only 4 miles east of Bournemouth, stretches back over a thousand years. Fast by the monumental Priory, notably the longest parish church in England and where there are regular events such as concerts, there are the remains of the castle destroyed by Thomas Cromwell after the Civil War and the Constable's House.
Christchurch proudly retains the feel of a small market town, with a more refined feel to its shopping centre. It has an aura of quaint, conservative charm, is intersected by the quietly circling eddies of the Rivers Stour and Avon and is quite distinct from the more metropolitan urgency of Bournemouth and Poole town centre.
Christchurch too has its own harbour and sailing club attracting a discerning audience for its plentiful restaurants and other local facilities.
