Visitor Centre Stanpit Marsh Local Nature ReserveVisitor information · 216 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!
Tuttons WellRuins · 291 ydExplorer Tom Tuttons Well is listed as ruins, which is weird for a well. Did it run dry or just give up? The caption says Tutton's well, so maybe it was named after someone grumpy. Get me a shot of the bottom!
George VI postbox, StanpitOld post box · 628 ydExplorer Tom George VI postbox, Stanpit in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole is sitting quietly in Stanpit. King George was there too. Take a photo to prove you found this hidden gem!
Pre-Conquest monastery, early Christian cemetery, Augustinian priory and a motte and bailey castle at ChristchurchScheduled monument · 1093 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 · 1119 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!
Whipping PostHeritage attraction · 1175 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.
Christchurch CastleArchaeological place · 1175 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.
StocksHeritage attraction · 1182 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!
Christchurch HarbourBay · 1251 ydExplorer 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.
MillhamsWood · 1302 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!
Hengistbury Head Visitor CentreVisitor information · 1453 ydExplorer Tom Hengistbury Head Visitor Centre is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale says a headland ghost haunts this place, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass!
Aviation monumentMonument or public art · 1532 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.
