Parkstone at a glance
Parkstone stretches from the busy shops of Ashley Road in Upper Parkstone down to the harbour in Lower Parkstone. At its heart is Ashley Cross, a village-style hub of independent restaurants, bars, cafés and boutiques that gives the area a lively, sociable feel.
Lower Parkstone is a short walk from Poole Park and Whitecliff Harbourside Park, with its views across Poole Harbour to Brownsea Island, and Parkstone railway station gives easy links to Bournemouth and London. Period Victorian and Edwardian houses sit alongside apartment conversions and modern homes, so there is something for every stage of life.
