Christchurch is situated on the shores of its own harbour in one of the most beautiful and affluent areas of the UK. It is renowned for its fascinating history and in particular, the magnificent 11th century Priory Church. Surrounded with natural beauty, you will be spoilt for choice.
Whether it’s a long summer’s or crisp winter’s day, the best way to explore the surrounding areas is on foot. The Christchurch Harbour Hotel’s location makes it the perfect base for discovering the beautiful coastline of Dorset with miles of golden beaches, the Jurassic Coast and further afield into the New Forest.
Feeling energetic? There are plenty of outdoor sports and attractions to keep you busy. Why not try cycling or horse riding in the New Forest, or discover your sea legs and get out on the water, with Christchurch Sailing Centre close by. Maybe a round of golf is more your style, the Highcliffe Golf Course is located within one mile of the hotel.
