Christchurch: Rotary Club wishing wellOld or holy well · 198 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!
Christchurch Priory Churchyard Wall and Gate Along Quay RoadListed building · 214 ydExplorer Tom Christchurch Priory Churchyard Wall is doing some serious boundary marking by Quay Road. It looks sturdy enough to handle a curious poke. Send me a shot of that ancient gate!
Red House MuseumListed building · 218 ydExplorer Tom Red House Museum in Christchurch looks like it’s blushing because everyone keeps taking photos of its exterior without asking permission. Grade II*, so it’s the pretty one.
Pre-Conquest monastery, early Christian cemetery, Augustinian priory and a motte and bailey castle at ChristchurchScheduled monument · 292 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 CastleArchaeological place · 365 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.
Whipping PostHeritage attraction · 403 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 · 413 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 · 643 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!
Stour RoadVisitor information · 1013 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 · 1297 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!
Aviation monumentMonument or public art · 1549 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.
Southbourne BeachBeach / strand · 1.1 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!
