Hengistbury HouseListed building · 453 ydExplorer Tom Hengistbury House is lurking in the shadows of Christchurch. It’s got that classic Grade II mystery about it. Don’t just stand there gawking; take a photo for me, mate!
40a, Bridge StreetListed building · 511 ydExplorer Tom 40a, Bridge Street in Bournemouth sounds like a house that knows all the gossip. Grade II listed, which means it’s got character, or maybe just peeling paint. Don’t assume you can knock on the door without an appointment!
Visitor Centre Stanpit Marsh Local Nature ReserveVisitor information · 554 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!
Pre-Conquest monastery, early Christian cemetery, Augustinian priory and a motte and bailey castle at ChristchurchScheduled monument · 617 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 · 675 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 · 691 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 · 691 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 · 698 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 · 832 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 · 1510 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.
Aviation monumentMonument or public art · 1544 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.
Christchurch HarbourBay · 1651 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.
