About

Throop and Muscliff lie in the north-east of Bournemouth within the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole unitary area. Throop sits on the banks of the River Stour; the old Throop Mill and the riverside footpath that follows the Stour through Throop Valley Local Nature Reserve are local landmarks. The area contains a mix of housing from interwar terraces to later estates, and small pockets of woodland and meadow with routes used by walkers and birdwatchers. Local schools and churches form part of the community network, and the neighbourhood retains traces of its agricultural past in field boundaries and water channels.

Muscliff adjoins Throop and functions mainly as a residential suburb with local shops, a community centre and primary schools. Green spaces and playing fields provide everyday recreation, and several bus routes link the area with Bournemouth town centre and neighbouring parishes. Local planning has focused on modest infill and maintenance of pedestrian links to the river corridor, keeping Throop and Muscliff connected to nearby open land and services.
