These are not all the eateries near us but a few to get you started. These are ones we tend to use, most are 5 to 10 minute walking distance. IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO BOOK IN CHRISTCHURCH. As a holiday destination they tend to get booked up in advance.

Beaches
Just some ideas
Catch the Wick ferry for £2 across the river and walk and easy walk along the river and nature reserve to get here. Takes 15 minutes. You can then either stay on the beach, sand and pebbles , walk along the tarmac road or catch the land train to mudeford spit, or walk along the beach to mudeford spit. The further you walk the less it is like the UK. Just fab
