Welcome to Poole

Poole is a small town located in the county of Somerset, England. It is situated on the coast of the English Channel and is known for its beautiful beaches and picturesque harbor. The town has a rich history dating back to the 12th century when it was a major port for the wool trade. Today, Poole is a popular tourist destination and attracts visitors from all over the world.

One of the main attractions in Poole is its stunning beaches. The town has three main beaches, each with its own unique character. Sandbanks Beach is the most popular and is known for its golden sand and clear blue waters. It is a great place for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. The other two beaches, Shore Road Beach and Branksome Chine Beach, are quieter and more secluded, making them perfect for a relaxing day by the sea.

Another popular attraction in Poole is its historic harbor. The harbor dates back to the 12th century and was once a major port for the wool trade. Today, it is a bustling hub of activity with boats of all shapes and sizes coming and going. Visitors can take a boat tour of the harbor or simply stroll along the quayside and take in the sights and sounds of this vibrant area. The harbor is also home to a number of restaurants and cafes, making it a great place to stop for a bite to eat.
