About

Christchurch Town centres around its historic priory and the confluence of the rivers Avon and Stour. The area is defined by a compact network of streets with independent shops and traditional pubs, leading down to a working quay. The priory church, one of the longest parish churches in England, overlooks the water meadows known as the Quomps.

From the quay, the rivers open into Christchurch Harbour, a sheltered estuary with mudflats and saltmarsh. The harbour is bordered by reed beds and is a noted site for birdlife. A narrow peninsula of land, Mudeford Sandbank, separates the harbour from the sea and is accessed by a small ferry.
