Extremely nice beach with soft sand. Hard to ride on. Hard to get out without walking.

Iford Bridge is a historic bridge that crosses the River Stour, connecting Christchurch and Bournemouth. It is a Grade II listed building by English Heritage. Easternmost section: Dates back to the late 18th or early 19th century and is constructed of red brick with stone coping. Middle section: Built in the mid-17th century, it is made of ashlar stone and features four round-headed arches. This section is particularly old, with some sources indicating it dates back to 1184. Westernmost section: Also from the late 18th century, it complements the middle section's architectural style.

Amazing spot. highly recommended.

Quiet fast smooth road especially if your cycling down hill, Just watch out for the tourist in the summer time due to the campsites nearby.

£1 each way for a single person, I love these quirky forms of crossing. Between Sandbanks and Studland.

Great stop for some refreshments just before you board the Chain Ferry.

Wick Fields form an important part of the Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve and constitute a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Hengistbury Head, Wick Fields and adjacent land were declared a Local Nature Reserve on 18 May 1990 under Section 21 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. The meadows here have not been improved for agriculture and are therefore regarded as ‘ancient grassland’, rich in flowering plants and rushes. An increase in birds has been reported here, including the rare Dartford warbler and the Cetti's warbler. Other birds include the song thrush, skylark, kestrel, barn owl and little owl. The otter is seen here occasionally, as is the now 'uncommon' water vole. A herd of Galloway cattle graze the land; these cattle are ideally suited to the harsh conditions of the coast and estuary and help manage the land by chewing and trampling down any overgrowth.

It is known for its high property prices and for its award-winning beach. In 2005, Sandbanks was reported to have the fourth highest land value by area in the world. The Sandbanks and Canford Cliffs Coastline area has been dubbed "Britain's Palm Beach". Sandbanks is a predominantly residential area, with homes stretching east from the Harbour to The Avenue, the eastern boundary of Poole. Homes often sell for millions of pounds. There are several shops and restaurants in the area, and a ferry at the end of the harbour, which takes you to either studlands or brownsea island.

The end of the line. You can either catch a ferry to the otherside or turn back.... that's it... no alternatives. 🤣

Depending on time of year and day it's an ok area. Toilets and a few eateries near the pier entrance. I tend to stay away in the afternoons and evenings, I like to cycle, run, train and swim here at 5am most days. It's peaceful and great for a sunrise picture or two.

Beautiful section of Sand dunes along the front of Southbourne. No good if you've not got the right tyres on. a few sections have boardwalks to go a long, or stick to the grassed section next to the dunes.

This section is a no cycle zone, I've never seen it enforced, guess i've just been lucky riding this section. I do dismount when getting close to the coastguard building at the top.

Lovely quieter area of the seafront. If cycling through and fancy a break. Drop down to the front and visit Sobo Beach. refuel on great food and take in the atmosphere before heading off. I highly recommend this .

lots of little off sections to discover along this section. some can be ridden and some walked. If you have the time, go off track!

Lovely views towards the mudeford beach huts and mudeford harbour.

The Norman House is a rare example of Norman domestic architecture in England. Whereas most ordinary domestic buildings of this date were built of timber, the house was built of stone, reflecting the high status of its builder. The tall, circular Norman chimney is a particularly unusual survival. The ground floor was probably used for storage. An external staircase led to the main rooms on the first floor, where a small lobby divided the two principal rooms, the hall and solar chamber. The hall was open to the roof with widely splayed windows to let in as much light as possible. The elaborately decorated window at the north end of the hall marks the dais end, where the high table stood. The private solar chamber had an adjoining latrine emptying into the mill stream. The east wall of the house, nearest the river, is thicker as it served as the defensive curtain wall of the castle. All the doors and windows on this exposed side had drawbars in case of attack.

Christchurch Castle is a Norman motte and bailey castle in Christchurch, Dorset, England. The earliest stonework has been dated to 1160. The castle's site is inside the old Saxon burh dominating the River Avon's lowest crossing.The castle is believed to stand on the site of an earlier wooden fort built in 924 following the capture of the town ramparts in 901 by King Æthelwold of Wessex, and subsequently fortified with a motte by King Edward the Elder.[2] After the Norman Conquest of 1066 the castle's defences were strengthened by the addition of a ditch and bailey surrounded by a wooden palisade. The wooden fort was eventually replaced with a stone keep. The Norman castle was a strategic defensive structure controlled by the King's constable until King Henry I granted it as the caput of a feudal barony to his cousin Richard de Redvers, feudal baron of Plympton, Devon. While the Saxon defences had been against outside threats such as Viking raiders, the Norman fortress was more concerned with subduing the local populace. It was also a useful base for enforcing the New Forest Laws. The castle controlled the harbour and inland access via the Rivers Avon and Stour. The earliest masonry has been dated to c. 1160, and there is documentary evidence of the castle existing in c. 1130. Richard de Redvers is often named as the castle's first builder, although there is little documentary evidence of this, and this castle may well have been on the site of the earlier Saxon castle. The castle was rebuilt by Baldwin de Redvers to resist King Stephen during the civil war with the Empress Matilda in 1147. A great tower was built probably around 1300. The castle again saw action during the Civil War of 1642–1651. The Parliamentarians were allowed to take control of the castle in 1644. The Royalists laid siege to it for 3 days, demolishing houses on the corner of Church Street and Castle Street in order to site their cannons. The Royalists were unable to take the castle and Oliver Cromwell, fearing such a powerful stronghold, ordered it to be slighted in 1652. The castle is now in ruins; a couple of the keep walls remain and the remains of a rectangular moat.
