Escape to the beautiful riverside setting of Christchurch, Dorset, even if you only have a few days to spare
Discover the Charm of Christchurch in Autumn
The picturesque town of Christchurch where we are located is beautiful during the autumn season when the days are cooler, the nights longer and the colours of the leaves turn. Together with cozy pubs, and stunning coastal walks, it's the perfect destination for a peaceful getaway.
Some popular walks include:
Mudeford Quay and Christchurch Harbour
Starting at Mudeford Quay, this walk allows you to take in the tranquil waters of Christchurch Harbour. The walk includes views of colourful beach huts, the picturesque harbour, and the opportunity to watch local fishermen at work. On a clear winter day, the horizon stretches far, providing a peaceful and rejuvenating experience.
also
Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve
Hengistbury Head is a stunning nature reserve located between Bournemouth and Christchurch. Winter is an excellent time to visit, as the crowds thin out, leaving you with the serene beauty of the reserve. The coastal walk offers breathtaking views of Christchurch Harbour, and the sandy beach is perfect for a brisk walk, especially during low tide.
Every autumn walk should finish with a pub. We recommend The Ship In Distress As the leaves turn to shades of amber and the nights draw in, autumn ushers in a season of warmth and comfort. It’s the perfect time to indulge in the classic delight of pies and The Ship In Distress offers some of the best.
