This attractive headland near the entrance to Christchurch harbour is ideal for a bracing walk away from Bournemouth’s more crowded beaches. Head up the cliff path for superb views of the Isle of Wight and Poole harbour. Drop down to the sandy beach and catch the foot ferry across the harbour entrance to Mudeford quay where you can buy fresh fish from local trawlers. Returning to Hengistbury Head, catch the land train back to the car park and take in a round of golf on the public course nearby.
