(10 mins drive through Christchurch) This is a quiet spot away from the crowds in the heat of the summer and a perfect spot to take a fishing net with children. There are plenty of birds and swans nested in the reeds. Rabbits abound and horses and cattle graze across the marsh. There are small beaches onto the Mudeford estuary. This is a nature reserve with easy parking by the Stanpit Scouts Hall. Great place for a walk and picnic with children and an easy flat amble.

Special nature area with wild ponies, water birds and views of Mudeford Spit. Like a little New Forest by the sea!

Stanpit Marsh is situated on the north side of Christchurch Harbour, just below the confluence of the rivers Avon and Stour. The 65 hectare site has an unusual combination of habitats including salt marsh with creeks and salt pans, reed beds, freshwater marsh, gravel estuarine banks and sandy scrub. It was designated as a Local Nature Reserve in 1964 and in 1986 as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The Marsh is home to over 300 species of plants, 14 of which are nationally rare and endangered. Stanpit Marsh requires dogs to be on a lead at all times and the area is subject to a dog control order. Stanpit Recreation Ground (adjacent) is suitable for dogs to run off lead. An interesting fact, is that Harry Gordon Selfridge (of the Selfridge's Department Store fame) used to own this land, as well as Hengistbury Head, while he lived for a time at nearby Highcliffe Castle.
