Poole is a lively coastal town in a sheltered position, nestled between Bournemouth and the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline on the stunning South Coast of England - a naturally beautiful place to spend your holiday, at any time of year.
Known for being Europe’s largest natural harbour, with its crystal clear waters and some of Britain’s best sandy beaches, it’s a haven for sailors and wildlife, and the perfect place to try your hand at any water sport imaginable.
There are plenty of exceptional beachside cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars to choose from, making it a great place to relax with friends. Poole is also a fantastic shopping hub with high street stores, independent shops and boutiques and the Dolphin shopping centre all offering ample opportunities for retail therapy.
Poole’s vibrant bustling quayside is a great spot to soak up the atmosphere of this historic maritime port, with its pirate heritage. Wander round the cobbled streets to take in the sights of the historic old town, visit the free entry Poole Museum to discover Poole’s story, and follow the traditional cockle trail.
For an adventurous day out, take the ferry across to Brownsea Island, home to red squirrels, kingfishers and oystercatchers. Nearby Studland Nature Reserve is another highlight for nature lovers, wildlife spotters and ramblers, whilst the dramatic dunes and heathlands are home to many species of wildlife and provide a beautiful scenic landscape.
From Poole you can easily access the magnificent Jurassic coast that reveals 185 million years of Earth’s history across a 95 mile span of coast between east Dorset and east Devon.
