Christchurch's predominantly sandy beaches extend for four miles across Christchurch Bay; from Highcliffe Beach in the east, to Highcliffe Castle, Steamer Point and Friar's Cliff beaches through to Avon Beach in the west. Mudeford Sandbank is a unique sandspit which adjoins Hengistbury and forms a natural barrier between the harbour and the open sea.

Few places in the country can boast two rivers, two castles, an 11th century Priory Church, a mill of Saxon origin, a Medieval bridge and the site of a civil war siege in 1645. The first Neolithic farmers came to Christchurch and the people of the Bronze Age left their burial mounds. The pagan Saxons also left their burial grounds just west of the High Street in what is now Waitrose's car park.
