It should go without saying, no trip to England should end without stopping by the quaint port city of Poole. This gorgeous town has a rich medieval history and has become a popular tourist destination for a good reason. From the beautiful and storied Old Town and the famous Poole Quay to beaches, cruises, and more, there’s something to enjoy for the whole family during your stay. Plus, it’s conveniently located near the Bournemouth Airport, which makes getting there a total snap. There are a ton of interesting festivals held there throughout the year, as well as some great historical, cultural, and recreational destinations in the city, but the best thing to do in Poole, in our opinion, is taking a Jurassic Coast Boat Trip with City Cruises.
