Poole MuseumMuseum · 5 ydExplorer Tom Poole Museum is sitting pretty on the quay, guarding local secrets like a miser with coins. Bet they’ve got a crate of unopened biscuits from the Victorian era in there.
The Waterfront MuseumListed building · 5 ydExplorer Tom The Waterfront Museum in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole is a cool listed building. Grade II. It probably has weird old boats in the basement.
Poole Waterfront MuseumMuseum · 9 ydExplorer Tom Poole Waterfront Museum is just on the map. No story yet! Is it full of boats? Or just memories? Go see what they’re hiding inside and send me a photo of the best exhibit.

The Waterfront Museum, Local History CentreListed building · 32 ydExplorer Tom The Waterfront Museum, Local History Centre in Poole is probably full of fishy stories. It’s Grade I listed, so it’s very important. But ‘Local History’ doesn’t mean ‘Open to the Public.’ Check before you go diving into the past!
Town wall W of Thames StreetScheduled monument · 96 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Town wall west of Thames Street is probably just a rumour at this point. If you can find it, buy me a drink! It’s been buried under history and bad paving.

Robert Baden-PowellMemorial · 240 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 · 873 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!
Wrecked boat with Cobbs Quay marina in backgroundShipwreck · 1335 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!
Poole Harbour Trails 6Walking route · 1749 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Poole Harbour Trails 6 in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole sounds like a fancy numbered path, but it’s probably just mud with a signpost. You’ll likely end up walking through the soup. Take a photo of the mess!
Poole War MemorialMemorial · 1.0 miExplorer 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 · 1.1 miExplorer 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!
Holes BayBay · 1.1 miExplorer 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.
