About the area

Talbot Woods at a glance

Talbot Woods is known for its spacious detached homes, many built between the 1920s and 1950s, set in generous plots along wide, tree-lined avenues. Much of the area sits within the Meyrick Park and Talbot Woods conservation area, which helps protect its character.

Talbot Heath, a protected heathland nature reserve, borders the area, and Meyrick Park’s golf course and leisure facilities are next door. The town centre is around a mile and a half away and Bournemouth station, with direct trains to London Waterloo, is close by.
