Sightseeing

You must catch the Ferry from Mudeford Quay over to the Sandbank (subject to weather), usually runs daily but check on social media. Only a 5 minute trip taking dogs, bikes etc. Once over there, walk along the sandbank to Hengistbury Head stopping for something to eat or drink at the Beach House restaurant. For the younger children take the Noddy Train to Hengistbury Head car park. Great for dog walking.

Hengistbury Head is a dramatic headland in Bournemouth situated to the south of Christchurch Harbour. It is an outstanding site for wildlife and archaeology and offers beautiful beaches and views across the New Forest, Isle of Wight and Purbecks. Access is easy for all ages and abilities and there is a land train linking to Mudeford Spit, and ferries to Christchurch. Buses run closeby. It's a great place for a day out whether you are walking or cycling. You are in the countryside but still close to the town
