The Location

Rosemount Road is a cul de sac ensuring a tranquil environment. At this end of the road is a path leading down through the chine, a beautiful dog walk in itself and only 5 minutes to the Alum Chine beach. Turn right and you have the perfect Sunday morning or summer's evening stroll along the beachfront or promenade to Sandbanks, taking in a coffee or something stronger at the Rockwater or Jazzy's cafe. There are 7 miles of these award-winning beaches to explore. Even during the Bournemouth Air Show or all the summer fireworks, when parking for the beach is at premium you can stroll down stress free. Now you are in Sandbanks, you can look across the whole of Poole Harbour which is the 2nd biggest natural harbour in the world and a safe haven for both mega yachts and pleasure boats with numerous marinas and moorings.

The Location

Sailing events and clubs abound and this is one of the UK hubs for windsurfing and kitesurfing. You can see many a champion in these sports practising in the harbour or off the beach. It is acclaimed as the one of the safest locations to teach children. And of course, Poole Harbour is home to Sunseeker yachts and the rnli. Why stop at Sandbanks? Catch the chain ferry to Studland, gaze at some of the extraordinary seafront properties, and then explore the Purbeck Hills and get up close and personal with the famous Old Harry Rocks. The Purbeck Hills shield the area and give Poole and Bournemouth its riviera microclimate. While in Studland, it is treat to go to the Pig on the Beach restaurant and you mustn't miss the Beer Festival at the Bankes Arms.

The Location

Whilst mixing the sea and dining, if you are a boat owner the trip to the Isle of Wight is made even more worthwhile by visiting ‘The Hut’ in Colwell Bay. Closer to home as we are talking eating, there are a fantastic range of restaurants and pubs close at hand to your home. In Canford Cliffs village, take in the ever-popular Cliff gastro pub. The Canford also in the village never disappoints and it takes dogs which is a serious plus for those of us who love our dogs and pints in equal measure. The exotic Koh Nai in Lilliput serves Thai Tapas. And for special occasions the Rick Stein harbourfront restaurant is not to be missed.

The Location
