Christchurch is situated approximately 2.5 miles south offering an extensive range of independent and high street shops, boutiques, restaurants, cafes, hotels and the beautiful natural harbour which is home to two sailing clubs, a rowing club and plenty of water-based activities. The market town of Ringwood is approximately 6 miles north offering further shopping, leisure facilities and a good range of pubs, cafes and restaurants.
