Poole is a coastal town in Dorset; it has one of the largest natural ports in the world. Situated in the easternmost corner of the county, Poole has been inhabited since the Iron Age. Today, it is a modern and lively city, offering numerous attractions and landmarks. It is also the ideal starting point if you want to tour the region, thanks to its strategic position.
The port area has always been exploited for commercial and military purposes, and it has been one of the departure ports during the Normandy landings. Nowadays, Poole is an important harbour both for freight and passenger traffic. The ferry terminal offers different services, such as ATMs, restrooms for people with impaired movement, bars, shops, and nurseries. Short and long term parking spots are also available.
