The GuildhallListed building · 383 ydExplorer Tom The Guildhall in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole is a grand Grade II* spot. It feels important. Take a picture for me if you see it.
Poole : Holes Bay SculpturePublic sculpture · 391 ydExplorer Tom Poole : Holes Bay Sculpture is posing by the water, trying to look artsy and expensive. I bet it costs more than my car, which is currently missing one wheel, but that’s fine.
The Crown HotelListed building · 443 ydExplorer Tom The Crown Hotel in Poole is probably wearing its crown with pride. It’s Grade II listed, so it’s got some royal flair. But royalty doesn’t always welcome guests without an appointment. Check the sign before you walk in!
Memorial sculpturePublic sculpture · 452 ydExplorer Tom Memorial sculpture is keeping quiet about who it’s honouring, playing hard to get. I bet if you whisper to it, it’ll tell you the best pub in town for free pints.

Robert Baden-PowellMemorial · 601 ydExplorer Tom Robert Baden-Powell has a statue at Poole Quay! No notes though. Did he scout there? Probably. Go have a look at the statue and send me a picture so I can wave to him from afar!
Poole, Sustrans milepostMonument or public art · 721 ydExplorer Tom Pooe Sustrans milepost is for cyclists who like numbers. I don’t count my miles, only my beers. See if that post has any interesting details and photograph it!
Obelisk at Poole ParkMonument or public art · 1195 ydExplorer Tom That obelisk at Poole Park is looking very pointy and judgmental. The record doesn't say who built it or why, which is suspiciously vague for such a tall thing. Get me a close-up shot!
Poole War MemorialMemorial · 1201 ydExplorer Tom Poole War Memorial says they died so we might live. Cheesy, right? But effective. It’s got inscriptions for both wars. Take a close-up shot for me so I can read the letters clearly.
Parkstone BayBay · 1534 ydExplorer Tom Parkstone Bay is a big splashy area that probably needs a bigger name. It's just a bay on the map. Go find the best spot for a selfie with the waves in the background!
Wrecked boat with Cobbs Quay marina in backgroundShipwreck · 1542 ydExplorer Tom Wrecked boat with Cobbs Quay marina in background in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole looks like it’s just taking a nap. It’s been sitting there so long it might have grown barnacles. Check if it’s awake!
Holes BayBay · 1724 ydExplorer Tom Holes Bay sounds like it has some serious holes in its reputation, but it's just a bay. Poole locals might know better. Find the water and see if you can spot any fishy business.
Millennium Milepost Holes Bay RoundaboutVisitor information · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Millennium Milepost Holes Bay Roundabout in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole tells you it's five miles to Wimborne. Great, but why is it a roundabout? We just go around it forever.
