Christchurch has a thriving High Street leading into the pedestrianised Saxon Square - filled with a mix of national brand shops and small, independent retailers.
There is a weekly street market on a Monday, selling a variety of quality produce including fresh fruit and vegetables, fish, bed linen, pet foods, jewellery, clothes, plants etc.
You could also visit the Priory Church, the castle ruins or stroll along the banks of the river.
