THE SITUATION

Christchurch is an historic market town located beside the sheltered waters of Christchurch Harbour with the New Forest to the east and Bournemouth’s lively seaside resort to the west. This charming and picturesque town has been shaped over the centuries by its position at the confluence of the Rivers Avon and Stour. Features include waterside walks and parks, among them the Quomps, a grassland area frequently used as a venue for events, a Saxon watermill, 11th century Priory and 12th century castle ruins.

There is a thriving high street of quality independents, plus an excellent selection of bistros, cafes, pubs and restaurants, among them Captain’s Club Hotel and The King’s Arms. Christchurch is also home to the immensely popular Christchurch Food Festival.

The town attracts retirees, families and the active. Christchurch Harbour is ideal for paddleboarders, sailors and windsurfers, while families are drawn by the excellent schooling, including Twynham secondary school and sixth form college judged ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted.
