East DorsetChristchurch

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.
