Poole – A Fantastic Day Out For All The Family
by Maria Tillinghous

Poole is situated in the picturesque county of Dorset and is the world’s second largest natural harbor. The beaches here are considered some of the finest in the country and if you would like to own a property in the close by Sandbanks which overlooks Poole harbour, then it will cost you more than anywhere else in the UK.
There is a large selection of restaurants in Poole, many of which are situated around the Quay and most are of a very good standard. So you have the delight of enjoying a meal while experiencing the magical views.
Dorset has many attractions and all the prime ones are a maximum half an hour’s drive from Poole. Opposite Poole Quay, is Brownsea Island which is an English Heritage Wildlife Preserve that offers many cheap priced cruises around the islands that encircle Poole Harbour. If you have a fair quantity of money to use then you may want to look at chartering a boat and exploring the islands yourself. It is truly a wonderful experience to cruise around all the sites in your own time and at your own speed.
Bournemouth and Christchurch are only a stone’s throw away from Poole and they have all the main attractions you would expect from larger towns and have more activities than anywhere else on the south coast. There are several theaters scattered around including the Lighthouse in Poole and the BIC Theater in Bournemouth which attracts some of the biggest names in show business as well as many concerts. Poole also boasts the largest leisure multiplex in the country which is called Tower Park. This colossal complex houses a huge diversity of services and entertainment including Bowling, Bingo, Cinemas, Arcades and many different restaurants to name but a few. If that does not suffice, there is Poole Stadium which is home to one of the top UK Speedway teams, and runs other events such as Greyhound Racing.
