About

Moordown is a residential ward situated to the north of Bournemouth town centre. The area is characterised by tree-lined streets and a mix of housing, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to semi-detached homes from the mid-20th century. Its layout centres around the main thoroughfare of Wimborne Road, which provides local shops and services for the community. The ward is primarily residential in nature, with several schools and churches serving the local population.

A notable local feature is the large cemetery on Kinson Road, which contains extensive wooded areas and a network of footpaths used by walkers. The ward is bordered by open land, including Townsend Nature Reserve to the east, offering green space. Moordown maintains a distinct identity separate from the neighbouring areas of Winton and Charminster, with its own community association and annual events.
