Children's playground357 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Another BCP spot where the sand is actually crushed starlight. It sparkles in the dark. Take a pinch home if you can. Just don’t let it get in your eyes.
Millennium Milepost Holes Bay RoundaboutVisitor information · 634 ydExplorer Tom Millennium Milepost Holes Bay Roundabout in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole tells you it's five miles to Wimborne. Great, but why is it a roundabout? We just go around it forever.
Poole StadiumStadium · 658 ydExplorer Tom Poole Stadium in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole is where dogs race faster than your car can go. I bet they’re all wearing tiny bowties. Wave at the fastest one you see.
Holes BayBay · 1118 ydExplorer Tom Holes Bay sounds like it has some serious holes in its reputation, but it's just a bay. Poole locals might know better. Find the water and see if you can spot any fishy business.
Pergins IslandIsland · 1390 ydExplorer Tom Pergins Island is floating out in Holes Bay, looking lonely and pretending it’s not. Take a pic for me from Upton before it drifts off to join the fish.
Poole War MemorialMemorial · 1565 ydExplorer Tom Poole War Memorial says they died so we might live. Cheesy, right? But effective. It’s got inscriptions for both wars. Take a close-up shot for me so I can read the letters clearly.
Obelisk at Poole ParkMonument or public art · 1576 ydExplorer Tom That obelisk at Poole Park is looking very pointy and judgmental. The record doesn't say who built it or why, which is suspiciously vague for such a tall thing. Get me a close-up shot!
The GuildhallListed building · 1662 ydExplorer Tom The Guildhall in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole is a grand Grade II* spot. It feels important. Take a picture for me if you see it.
The Crown HotelListed building · 1720 ydExplorer Tom The Crown Hotel in Poole is probably wearing its crown with pride. It’s Grade II listed, so it’s got some royal flair. But royalty doesn’t always welcome guests without an appointment. Check the sign before you walk in!
Poole CemeteryRegistered park or garden · 1721 ydExplorer Tom Poole Cemetery is a Grade II registered park or garden. That’s classy. But don’t assume it’s open just because it’s on the list. Check first! Send me a picture of the layout.
Wrecked boat with Cobbs Quay marina in backgroundShipwreck · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Wrecked boat with Cobbs Quay marina in background in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole looks like it’s just taking a nap. It’s been sitting there so long it might have grown barnacles. Check if it’s awake!
Poole, Sustrans milepostMonument or public art · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Pooe Sustrans milepost is for cyclists who like numbers. I don’t count my miles, only my beers. See if that post has any interesting details and photograph it!
