Water TowerListed building · 40 ydExplorer Tom The Water Tower in Southbourne is Grade II and probably full of nothing now. Water towers are cool because they look like giant bottles. Check if it's still standing before you get excited. Take a photo from below to show how tall it is.
George V postbox on Belle Vue RoadOld post box · 341 ydExplorer Tom George V postbox on Belle Vue Road in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole has George V’s face on it. He was a decent king. Take a picture to show off your knowledge.
St Katherine, Southbourne: statueMonument or public art · 675 ydExplorer Tom St Katherine, Southbourne: statue is standing tall and proud, probably thinking she’s the queen of the beach. Bet she gets jealous when the seagulls steal chips from tourists’ hands.
Southbourne BeachBeach / strand · 799 ydExplorer 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!
Fisherman's Walk Seafront Office and Cliff LiftVisitor information · 1335 ydExplorer Tom Fisherman's Walk Seafront Office and Cliff Lift is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale says a cliff dweller lives here, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass!
Fisherman's Walk Cliff LiftHeritage attraction · 1336 ydExplorer Tom Fisherman's Walk Cliff Lift in Bournemouth carries people down to the beach. It’s a heritage lift spot on the map, so enjoy the ride down to see the waves crashing below!
Iford, milepostMonument or public art · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Iford milepost is marking time again. It’s probably older than my uncle. Give that stone a little wave and take a picture. I want to see if it looks grumpy!
Christchurch: Rotary Club wishing wellOld or holy well · 1.2 miExplorer 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 · 1.2 miExplorer 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.
Pre-Conquest monastery, early Christian cemetery, Augustinian priory and a motte and bailey castle at ChristchurchScheduled monument · 1.3 miExplorer 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 · 1.4 miExplorer 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!
Boscombe BeachBeach / strand · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Boscombe Beach in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole is pretending to be a secret. The map says it's there, but the access? Who knows! Wave at the sea if you can find a path.
