Hamworthy

About

Hamworthy ward sits on a peninsula within Poole Harbour, directly south of the main town centre. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing estates and older terraced homes. Its industrial heritage remains visible along the southern shoreline, which includes working port facilities and boatyards. The geography creates a distinct sense of place, separate from the urban centre.

The large Ham Common provides a significant green space with sports pitches and a nature reserve. The ward is connected to the rest of Poole by the lifting bridge over the Backwater Channel. Local life centres on the small cluster of shops and community facilities near the bridge, with the harbour's inlets shaping much of the neighbourhood's layout and atmosphere.
