Poole sits on the south coast of England directly to the east of the Jurassic Coast, and is considered a gateway town to this UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are a plethora of exciting activities on offer in this bustling tourist resort, so whether you’re visiting with family, friends or as a couple, you’re sure to find plenty to keep yourself busy.
Spend a relaxed day at the golden sandy beaches lying out in the sun, or for the thrill seekers amongst you, try your hand at some of the water sports on offer, like windsurfing and sailing, or charter your own fishing boat and catch your supper. Take a stroll through the historic Old Town quarter of Poole and browse the independent boutiques for souvenirs, trinkets and gifts, or head to the Dolphin Centre for popular brands. If you like to keep active, why not head up the cliffs for a hike along the gorgeous coast, taking in the fresh seaside air and stopping at one of the pubs for a comforting traditional meal of fish n’ chips.
As the evening draws in, stop off at The Lighthouse in the heart of town, the largest arts centre outside of London, which boasts a rotating line-up of award-winning live shows, theatre, events and exhibitions. After a long day, settle in for a delicious meal at one of the restaurants in Poole listed above and recharge.
