The Constable's HouseListed building · 15 ydExplorer Tom The Constable's House in Christchurch looks like it’s seen some action. Grade I listed means it’s been there a long time. See if you can spot the priory tower from here!
Whipping PostHeritage attraction · 57 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.
StocksHeritage attraction · 58 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!
The King's Arms HotelListed building · 61 ydExplorer Tom The King's Arms Hotel in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole is probably judging your outfit. Grade II listed, which sounds fancy but might just mean it’s got nice bricks. Don’t wander in without checking who owns the keys!
Christchurch CastleArchaeological place · 84 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.
Pre-Conquest monastery, early Christian cemetery, Augustinian priory and a motte and bailey castle at ChristchurchScheduled monument · 194 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!
MillhamsWood · 266 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!
Christchurch: Rotary Club wishing wellOld or holy well · 387 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 · 885 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.
Visitor Centre Stanpit Marsh Local Nature ReserveVisitor information · 1180 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!
Christchurch, boundary stoneMonument or public art · 1678 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.
Christchurch HarbourBay · 1.3 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.
