Broadstone sits inland and uphill from the harbour, on the edge of the heath.
Outdoors
Heathland and the Castleman Trailway, a traffic-free route on a former railway line running towards Wimborne, are both on the doorstep. Golf is well established here. See walking and trails and cycling.
Day to day
A local centre with shops and places to eat, serving a largely residential area.
Staying here
Quieter and better value than the coast, with Poole Quay and the beaches a short drive and Wimborne just up the road. See accommodation.
