Location:
Branksome Park is one of Poole’s most affluent areas. However, in contrast to the seaside residences on the peninsula, Branksome Park lies inland from the shorefront offering a suburban, almost countrified feel. Properties are largely nestled amongst the trees within private grounds offering space and privacy. A network of footpaths will take you on captivating woodland walks alongside a meandering stream, eventually leading to the sea and the beautiful award-winning sandy beaches.

For all your amenities, neighbouring Canford Cliffs and Westbourne offer a cosmopolitan mix of bars bistros and boutiques.

Nearby, the internationally acknowledged, Sandbanks boasts the largest natural harbour in Europe (the second largest natural harbour in the world) with miles of golden sand and sheltered waters. It is perfect for either learning the latest water sport or simply lazing on the beach in the sun.

The beautiful award-winning sandy beaches are only a short walk away while the open sea offers some of the best sailing and coastline right on your doorstep.

The Sandbanks Chain Ferry crosses the short stretch of water across to the Isle of Purbeck, giving access to Shell Bay, Swanage and the rest of the magnificent Jurassic coastline and stunning Purbeck countryside.

For eating out, the wonderful Rick Stein’s restaurant, next to Tailor Made’s office, is very popular and across the chain ferry is also the delightful The Pig on the Beach and Shell Bay Restaurant. The area’s favourite Chinese restaurant, the renowned Ocean Palace, is located inside Sandbanks Hotel.

Sandbanks is also the home to the Royal Motor Yacht Club and Sandbanks Yacht Club.
