Introduction

Poole has grown up around its pretty old harbour. Once busy with fishing and trading boats, it now bustles with designer yachts and cruise boats heading to the offshore islands. The quay area is dotted with restaurants and salty old pubs, and the Sandbanks area is a popular spot for watersports.
