Mayor's Parlour and Saxon Square

Consists of earthworks and a couple of surviving walls.

Built in 1845. The manufacture of fusee chains was an important industry in 19th century Christchurch.

Dating back more than 1000 years, it is very large (Cathedral-sized) and was very important in ecclesiastical terms back in the day.

A Grade II* listed Anglo-Saxon watermill located a short distance to the south of the Priory. It is listed in the Doomsday book.

Very pretty harbour, which is great for a stroll around. There is lots of green spaces and heaths around, and a golf course too. The varied habitats include saltmarsh, wet meadows, grassland, heath, sand dune, woodland and scrub, which makes it classified by the government as an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest). The water is popular for sailing, and for racing toy-boats and pedalos too. If you're brave/mental enough you could venture for a swim (it's clean but freezing). The Mudeford ferry operates between Mudeford Quay and Mudeford Sandbank on Hengistbury Head, near the mouth of the harbour with a nice pub with enjoyable views. There is toy train for the kids too.
