Poole

Poole, located on the south coast of England, is a hidden gem with plenty of things to do! You can stroll along the beautiful beaches, explore the historic town center, or even take a ferry to nearby Brownsea Island, home to red squirrels and other wildlife. And if you're feeling adventurous, why not try some water sports like kayaking or paddleboarding? Just be sure to bring a jacket - it can get pretty chilly!

Historic Walking Tour of Poole

Discover Poole's historic Old Town and learn about its long and interesting history on a guided tour. Visit lanes that were once piers, look behind the High Street facades, and find the curly Cod. Starting at 19 High Street, your guided walking tour will help you imagine Poole in the centuries gone by. Poole was 'founded' in 1248 when Sir William Longspee sold the land to the citizens to fund his costs for a Crusade from which he never returned. But, Poole has a much longer history that stretches back to the Iron Age and it also has Roman connections. Your will learn how Poole's coastline has been reclaimed, where the town was attacked by the Spanish looking for the pirate Harry Paye, how Codfish from Newfoundland paid for one of Poole's transformations, and where the smuggling tunnels still exist. The main tour takes two hours at a slow walking pace and is on mostly level pavement. It is all wheelchair accessible. A shorter tour is available on request.
