Description - 111 Places in Poole That You Shouldn't Miss by Katherine Bebo

Poole: home to the second largest natural harbour in the world, award-winning sandy beaches, tons of pottery and Ryvita crispbreads. Well, yes - but what else? Loads, as it happens. Poole and its surrounding areas are fit to burst with places to explore, uncover and enjoy. Whether you're a visitor or a local and want to discover where writer H.G. Wells' ashes are scattered, a ghost village that hasn't been inhabited since World War II, a pub chock-full of fossils, the UK's smallest cinema, a 400-tonne rock lobbed by the devil, the location for one of Coldplay's music videos, the best place to buy Sherbet Pips, or a very punctual miniature soldier, this guide will point them out, whisper some fun facts and little-known local knowledge in your ear and hopefully leave you raising your eyebrows and saying, 'Well, I never ...' AUTHOR: Katherine Bebo is a professional freelance writer and editor. Her career has taken her to London, Dubai and Denver in the USA - but now she's back home where her heart is: Poole.
