Description |
 |
 |
|
Christchurch is well
know for its magnificent 11th century Priory Church,
said to be the longest parish church in England. The town has a
diverse heritage, which you will particularly notice if you stroll
along the Convent Walk beside the two streams that lead to Place
Mill and the Quay.
The Quay is a popular place to sit and watch the world go by. There
is a regular ferry service to Mudeford Sandbanks or going the other
way to Tuckton Tea Gardens. Small motorboats can also be hired
out in the summer months.
A popular walking route is; from Christchurch
to cross the river on the Wick ferry, walk to Hengistbury Head
car
park, take the Land Train (or walk) over Hengistbury Head to
Mudeford Sandbank then catch the ferry from Mudeford Sandbank
back to Christchurch. Click
