Escape the Everyday here in historic Christchurch: the gateway to the New Forest awaits.
This quaint cobble-stoned part of the south coast has so much to discover, with wide open spaces giving you the freedom to explore and, with so many places of accommodation to suit every budget, you’ll be able to treat yourself to a break-away you’ll never forget.
With enviable golden sands on one side and the national park on the other, Christchurch welcomes visitors from far and wide every summer. As the sun dips lower in the sky the coastline is radiated in red light, the dark blue waves lapping at the shore as the sea air turns crisp and refreshing – it’s a stunning time of year to see nature in all its glory.
There are few better views to experience this than at Highcliffe Castle with its captivating architecture, stunning grounds, overlooking the vast seascape beyond. From here you can take in the stunning views, follow the clifftop walks to the dramatic beaches, and embrace the changing colours of the seasons in the many nature reserves on its doorstep.
With an abundance of parks and gardens to explore the foliage is quite fantastic at this time of year – grab a scarf and a raincoat and take a walk in the cool, crisp outdoors.
Indulge in some quintessential fish and chips on the bustling quayside and later a hot coffee and take in the vistas that this town has to offer – incredible from the shore and on the water.
Return to a warm and welcoming hotel room, kick off your boots and nestle into a comfortable chair leafing through your favourite book and enjoy our hospitality, let someone else cook for you in one of our many cafes and restaurants.
