Parkstone BayBay · 307 ydExplorer Tom Parkstone Bay is a big splashy area that probably needs a bigger name. It's just a bay on the map. Go find the best spot for a selfie with the waves in the background!
Harbourside ParkPark · 811 ydExplorer Tom Harbourside Park in Bournemouth is right by the water, very nautical vibes. The gulls are aggressive, so don’t wave at them unless you want to be pecked.
Parkstone CemeteryCemetery · 906 ydExplorer Tom Parkstone Cemetery in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole is silent. No stories, no access notes. It’s like a blank page. Did the history evaporate? Take a look and report back for me!
Poole ParkRegistered park or garden · 959 ydExplorer Tom Poole Park is Grade II, which basically means it's nice but not quite perfect. The record says check before entering, so don't assume you can picnic there. Take a photo of the park's best angle for me.
Obelisk at Poole ParkMonument or public art · 1136 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!
Poole War MemorialMemorial · 1150 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.
Blake Hill ViewpointViewpoint · 1277 ydExplorer Tom Blake Hill Viewpoint in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole has a path through the woods that smells like adventure. I think the trees are whispering secrets. Lean in close to hear them!
Poole, Sustrans milepostMonument or public art · 1299 ydExplorer 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!
Lilliput: Edward VIII postbox cipherOld post box · 1566 ydExplorer Tom Lilliput: Edward VIII postbox cipher in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole has a secret code on it. King George? No, Eddie. Check the letters carefully before you leave.
RNLI Lifeboat MuseumMuseum · 1595 ydExplorer Tom RNLI Lifeboat Museum is sitting there looking all heroic, probably judging your swimming technique. Grab a picture of that boat before it decides to sail off without you.
Evening HillViewpoint · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Evening Hill in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole offers a view that makes you feel very small. I think the clouds are down here waiting for me. Take a photo of the sky!
Luscombe Valley Nature ReserveNature reserve · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Luscombe Valley Nature Reserve is tucked away nicely. It's got that exclusive vibe without the entry fee. The valley probably holds some serious secrets. Whisper them to me if you hear anything interesting!
