About

Iford is a residential suburb of Bournemouth within the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole unitary area. The neighbourhood is made up of housing from several periods, local shops, schools and community facilities clustered along Iford Lane and adjacent roads. Bus services link the area with Bournemouth town centre and the wider BCP conurbation, and there are public green spaces and playing fields used by local clubs and families. The street pattern and allotments give the area a settled, suburban character rather than a single commercial centre.

The area is better known locally for Iford Manor and its gardens, where a sequence of walled terraces and formal steps lead down into a small valley. The manor gardens stage summer music events in an open-air setting that uses the terrace walls and clipped hedges as a backdrop. Care of the garden and the continuing programme of concerts and arts events draw visitors from across the borough while the surrounding streets remain largely residential and community focused.
