Christchurch is in the county of Dorset - an area of beauty and breathtaking scenery. The coastline faces the English Channel which separates the United Kingdom from mainland Europe, and stretches from Christchurch in the east to Lyme Regis in the west, offering a wide variety of water sports and award winning sandy beaches.
Inland, Dorset offers lush countryside, unspoilt rural villages and archeology that goes back to the Jurassic Period. The clean air and beautiful scenery make it an ideal place for photography, walking and cycling.
