Throop at a glance
Throop is one of Bournemouth’s few remaining village settings, sitting on the banks of the River Stour and protected by a conservation area. Throop Mill, a Grade II listed building on a site used for milling since the Domesday Book, is a local landmark.
Riverside paths lead to Muscliff and Holdenhurst, and the Stour Valley Nature Reserve is popular with walkers, anglers and wildlife watchers. Character cottages sit alongside newer family homes, and Castlepoint shopping centre, the A338 and Bournemouth Airport are all close by.
