Before And After Your Visit
If you arrive early, fancy exploring our patch or are just in need of a coffee and a bite to eat, here’s a bit of our local knowledge to point you in the right direction.
Just A Quickie
Drop into the ‘Train Station Cafe’ right next to our studio, great for that take-out cappuccino or latte. Or for speed there’s a ‘Somerfield’ on Old Christchurch Road that’s got a decent coffee machine.
Time To Enjoy
OK so we all know Italian’s make the best Coffee, which is why we’re happy to have a ‘Cafe Nero’ on our doorstep, just follow Old Christchurch Road into Bournemouth and it’s on the right hand side.
Just A Quickie
For good fast food and no nonsense noodles hit ‘Wagammamas’ at Westover Road in the town centre. Definitely worth resisting the golden arches for this one.
Time To Enjoy
An old favourite, even when it was just the Caf’, ‘Branksome Beach Restaurant’, Pinecliffe Road, has one of the best sea views and kicks out some great fresh local fish dishes and a killer afternoon tea!
A Stone’s Throw
We find the openness of the sea a great place to clear the mind and focus. You get a great view of the bay from the ‘Cliff Top’ on Overcliff Drive, or even better just walk down the steps to the sands.
Worth A Visit
Prepare to be wowed at the forest conservation park ‘Moors Valley’. Visit ‘The Look Out,’ perched high in the canopy overlooking the forest, it’s a real escape that we find naturally inspiring.
On The Water
Join us on one of our kayak trips around the coast or take advantage of our perfect setting for Wind and Kite Surfing. Get yourself over to ‘The Watersports Academy’ in Poole Harbour for kit hire and/or a lesson.
Across The Hills
A ride across the Purbecks is our weekly reboot and also a great excuse to visit ‘The Bankes Arms’ when we’re done. Catch the ferry from Sandbanks and follow the trails to Kimmeridge Bay and beyond.
