Morden - serenity on the south coast
The tiny but idyllic south coast village of Morden serves up a healthy slice of delicious Dorset, perfect for those who love to get away from it all. Six miles to the north of Poole and its must-see quayside, Morden is also nicely placed for exploring the wonders of Wareham Forest, a picturesque spot ideally suited for walkers, cyclists or those just looking for a pleasant day out with the family.
This is England? Stunning Sandbanks Beach
With its golden sands and cool, crisp azure waters, you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd travelled further afield than Nearby Poole and its glorious Sandbanks Beach. A popular hang-out for surfers, swimmers, barbequers and just chillers, there's even crazy golf, a children's play area and the Sandbanks Beach Cafe to boot. A must-visit - even if the sun didn't get the memo.
National parks and bustling Bournemouth
If beautiful green spaces are what you're after in a break then you'll be right at home in Morden - which is surrounded by natural wonders such from to the Hartland Moor national nature reserve to Morden Bog. And for those who like things just a little bit livlier, Bournemouth and its beaches, pier and amusements are just half an hour's drive away. Planning a trip to Morden? Travelodge Bournemouth Seafront Hotel and Travelodge Poole are great choices.
