We challenge you not to be charmed by the medieval town of Christchurch. Home to a historical castle, ducking stool, spectacular priory and a mill that can be traced back to the Doomsday book, Christchurch has a wealth of history all within short walking distance from the High Street. Unsurprisingly, the wider Christchurch area is just as rich in history and culture, from troublesome smugglers to pioneering military technology, its heritage awaits.
