 Christchurch
|
|
| Christchurch, on the border with Hampshire, is a popular sailing centre sited where the Stour
and the Avon meet. Protected by Hengistbury Head with its Iron Age fort, the old town
is dominated by the famous 11th century Priory Church, the longest parish church in
England.
In Christchurch there are several reserved buildings including
the thatched 14th century Old Court House and the Georgian
Red House.
In the summer months try a ferry trip, hear the band concerts,
hire a boat hire or watch the wildlife at Stanpit Marshes.
The main beach near Christchurch is at Mudeford.
Christchurch has a market on Mondays, and there is a Tourist
Information Centre in the town.
