About

Moordown is a residential neighbourhood in Bournemouth within the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole unitary area. It developed from former heathland into a suburb during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with terraces and semi-detached houses common across the streets. Local shopping parades and small businesses serve day-to-day needs, and regular bus services link the area with the town centre. Community facilities include a primary school, a community centre and public green spaces used for sport and local events.

The place-name keeps a reminder of the original landscape: “moor” and “down” indicate the heath and open ground that once stood here, and that history shapes the layout of some parks and paths. Social and voluntary groups run clubs and activities around the recreation ground and parish facilities, and small-scale retail — bakeries, takeaways and independent stores — forms the local high street. Housing stock, local services and transport make Moordown a mainly residential ward within Bournemouth.
