Location:
'Harbour Vista' is located in a small friendly area known as Stanpit which lies directly between the historic town of Christchurch and the picturesque beach and quay of Mudeford. Historically Stanpit was the area where most of the fishermen would lay out their nets to dry out on the edge of the marshland. These days it still retains its charm with a sleepy, relaxed feel. Directly opposite 'Harbour Vista' is 'Tuttons Well' - a capped natural fresh water spring where people used to travel from all over the country in Victorian times to sample the 'elixir' of Christchurch, which reputedly had exceptional medicinal properties and was especially good for curing eyesight problems. Also opposite the property is 'Stanpit Marsh' which is a 122 acre Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) with a wide variety of bird life, grazing horses and excellent fishing. Christchurch itself is a quiet stroll away as is Christchurch Harbour with its shallow waters.
Christchurch Harbour:
'Harbour Vista' overlooks Christchurch Harbour which is an ideal location for canoeing, dinghy sailing, kite surfing or simply watching the wide variety of wildlife. Regular ferries run from Mudeford Quay to Mudeford Sand spit (renowned for the most expensive beach huts in the country) as well as to Christchurch Quay and Iford further up the river Stour. Sailing lessons are available from several of the local sailing schools, alternatively there are slipways dotted around the harbour from where you may launch your own boat. Christchurch Quay is a great place to feed the swans and during the summer months plays host to the regatta as well as on occasion the brass band.
