Christchurch: Rotary Club wishing wellOld or holy well · 216 ydExplorer Tom Christchurch Rotary Club wishing well is where you can make a wish. I hope it comes true, unlike my dating life. Drop a coin in if you dare and tell me what you wished!
Pre-Conquest monastery, early Christian cemetery, Augustinian priory and a motte and bailey castle at ChristchurchScheduled monument · 339 ydExplorer Tom Pre-Conquest monastery in Christchurch is layering its history like a very confused lasagna. Monks, Christians, and knights all piled up here. Take a picture for me if you spot any lingering monks!
Priory CottageListed building · 340 ydExplorer Tom Priory Cottage in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole is a charming Grade II* hideout. I bet it smells like old books and tea.
Christchurch Priory Churchyard Wall and Gate Along Quay RoadListed building · 386 ydExplorer Tom Christchurch Priory Churchyard Wall is doing some serious boundary marking by Quay Road. It looks sturdy enough to handle a curious poke. Send me a shot of that ancient gate!
Christchurch CastleArchaeological place · 491 ydExplorer Tom Christchurch Castle is just an archaeological place, which means it’s probably half gone. But it’s got style! Take a picture of whatever rubble is left and send it my way.
The Quomps PlaygroundChildren's playground · 500 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom The Quomps Playground in Bournemouth has a name that sounds like a sneeze. I bet the slides are fast enough to launch you into next week. Hold onto your hat!
Whipping PostHeritage attraction · 522 ydExplorer Tom Whipping Post in Bournemouth sounds scary for bad behaviour days. It’s just a heritage marker now, but imagine being tied to it! Check the area before you get too comfy.
MillhamsWood · 784 ydExplorer Tom Millhams Wood in Poole is playing hard to get with its tangled branches. Local legend insists a lost explorer's hat still sits on an oak branch. Snap a photo of any suspiciously quiet leaves!
Visitor Centre Stanpit Marsh Local Nature ReserveVisitor information · 904 ydExplorer Tom Visitor Centre Stanpit Marsh Local Nature Reserve is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale says a marsh wader hides here, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass!
Aviation monumentMonument or public art · 1291 ydExplorer Tom The Aviation monument probably missed the plane by seconds. It's just standing there looking heroic on the map. I bet it knows things. Take a picture before it flies off.
Stour RoadVisitor information · 1332 ydExplorer Tom Stour Road in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole is just a road, but it's got a picture of itself. Very narcissistic. I bet it leads nowhere interesting unless you're lost on purpose.
Christchurch HarbourBay · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Christchurch Harbour is full of boats probably arguing about who has the best parking spot. It's just a bay on the map. Go look from Warren Hill and tell me what you see.
