2 and 3, Church LaneListed building · 238 ydExplorer Tom 2 and 3, Church Lane in Christchurch are sharing a listing, which is weirdly intimate for buildings. Grade II, so they’re nice, but that doesn’t mean they want visitors. Take a pic from the street if you feel brave!
Drinking fountain and cattle troughListed building · 251 ydExplorer Tom Drinking fountain and cattle trough in Christchurch? That’s a weird combo, innit? Listed Grade II, so it’s probably full of history and old germs. Have a quick look and tell me.
Christchurch CastleVisitor attraction · 317 ydExplorer Tom Christchurch Castle in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole claims to be a visitor attraction but has zero recorded history. Sounds like it’s just a big fancy rock pretending to have secrets. Give it a wave if you spot it!
StocksHeritage attraction · 320 ydExplorer Tom Stocks in Bournemouth are for holding your hands and feet still. The photo shows a German one, but this is the local heritage version. Sit tight if you misbehave here!
MillhamsWood · 387 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!
Pre-Conquest monastery, early Christian cemetery, Augustinian priory and a motte and bailey castle at ChristchurchScheduled monument · 417 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!
Christchurch: Rotary Club wishing wellOld or holy well · 509 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!
Stour RoadVisitor information · 623 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, boundary stoneMonument or public art · 1459 ydExplorer Tom Christchurch's boundary stone is playing hard to get. It's just a dot on a map pretending to be important. If you find it, tell it Tom said hello and maybe leave a biscuit.
Visitor Centre Stanpit Marsh Local Nature ReserveVisitor information · 1524 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!
Southbourne BeachBeach / strand · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Southbourne Beach is waving goodbye to the day. Tell it not to cry! It's just the tide being dramatic. Give it a high-five for me!
Christchurch HarbourBay · 1.5 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.
