About

Highcliffe & Walkford is a residential area situated on the eastern edge of the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole conurbation, bordering the New Forest. It is characterised by suburban housing, local shopping parades, and proximity to the coastline at Highcliffe Beach. The area includes several schools and green spaces, such as the Chewton Common recreational ground, providing facilities for local community use.

The area is defined by Highcliffe Castle and its cliff-top grounds, a 19th-century manor with landscaped gardens overlooking Christchurch Bay. The castle estate connects to the beach below and the wooded walks of Steamer Point Nature Reserve. The nearby village centre of Walkford offers a more traditional, village-like atmosphere distinct from the coastal focus of Highcliffe.
