About

Parley & Hampreston is situated on the eastern edge of the Bournemouth urban area, characterised by a mix of residential and rural land. The area includes the large commercial and retail hub of Ferndown, centred around the Wessex Fields business park and the Castleman Trailway, a path following a disused railway line. The River Stour and the Moors River flow through the landscape, creating wetland habitats.

The area is known for Parley Common, a heathland of scientific interest that provides a significant contrast to the nearby development. Bournemouth Airport, a major local employer and transport link, is located here, with its operations integrated into the semi-rural setting. The presence of the airport and the common defines much of the local environment.
