Explore the treasures of Poole’s historic quayside, delve deep into the heart of the old town where sea captains and pirates once stood and immerse yourself in Poole’s fascinating history.
Poole Museum, The Cockle Trail guided walk, treasure hunt and Poole Trail interpretation panels will help unravel Poole’s past for explorers – young and old!
Along the quayside look out for tall ships, fishing vessels and luxury Sunseeker powerboats, manufactured just across the water, or head out on one of the many harbour cruises.
A visit to the popular Poole Pottery is a must for exclusive designs and studio pieces and gift-ware. Watch the master Potter at work or paint your own masterpiece to take home!
Further along the quay, visit Purbeck Pottery, Poole Welcome Centre and the Old Town for beautiful gifts and local art. If outlet shopping is more you, then check out Quayside retail.
Crabbing on Poole Quay is a must, as is sampling the delicious food and drink on offer in one of the many restaurants, café’s, bars or traditional pubs whilst enjoying the splendid views across the harbour.
