Default Moving to Bournemouth

Hi Every,

end of the summer my job moves to bournemouth and i am relocating with the company.

was hoping some SW's could give me some inside info on areas in and around Pool/Bournemouth. my company is based in wallisdown, so looking between a 3-4 mile cycle commute from there.

tort nuts are everywhere so hoping there are a few in bmouth

thanks guys

I would recommend Christchurch! We have a holiday property there and it is amazing. I think Poole would be too far for you if you are in Bournemout. I am not familiar with Wallisdown sorry.

I am off there this weekend again, cant beat Christchurch and it would be a lovey cycle to work.

Good luck with the hunt!

My OH is a delivery driver around Dorset - I will ask him - it is very expensive in some areas - are you going to rent?

My mother in law has a chalet at naish or hobourne as it is now - we spent many years down there when the kids were young.
