Welcome to Hamworthy

Hamworthy is a small town located in the county of Dorset, England. It is situated on the northern shore of Poole Harbour, which is one of the largest natural harbours in the world. The town has a rich history, dating back to the Roman times, and has been an important port for centuries. Today, Hamworthy is a popular destination for tourists, who come to enjoy its beautiful scenery, historic landmarks, and vibrant culture.

One of the most notable landmarks in Hamworthy is the Hamworthy Park, which is a large public park located on the waterfront. The park features a variety of attractions, including a children's playground, a boating lake, and a miniature railway. There are also several walking trails that wind through the park, offering visitors stunning views of the harbour and the surrounding countryside. In addition, the park is home to several historic buildings, including the Hamworthy Club, which was built in the early 20th century and is now a popular venue for concerts and other events.

Another popular attraction in Hamworthy is the Hamworthy Beach, which is a long stretch of sandy shoreline that is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and other beach activities. The beach is also a popular spot for fishing, and there are several fishing boats that operate from the harbour. Visitors can also take a boat tour of the harbour, which offers a unique perspective on the town and its surroundings. Overall, Hamworthy is a charming and picturesque town that offers something for everyone, whether you're interested in history, nature, or simply relaxing by the sea.
