With a rich maritime
history, the busy resort town of Poole stands
on the northern shore of Britain’s largest
natural harbour and one of its biggest shallow
water anchorages. Poole Harbour was, in fact,
a key embarkation point for allied troops on
D-Day.
As a port, the town
enjoyed great prosperity in the Middle Ages
and today offers cross-Channel sailings to
France and the Channel Islands. It is also a
popular destination for thousands of sailors,
windsurfers, and even oil prospectors.
