Today's UK van life travel adventure comes from Poole in Dorset.
Explore with me !
I have made it to Poole in Dorset and will give you a quick tour. I headed to Poole Quay to look around the old harbour and then into the town centre. Poole was bombed heavily during the second world war so a lot of the centre has been built from 1960's onwards. That doesn't mean there's no old buildings to see as there are quite a few tucked away.
After going through the centre of town I head out towards a park which I'm sure is lovely in the summer and certainly somewhere I would take the van. Not so busy today as it's March and it's very cold and wet. At one point I thought there was snow mixed in with that rain !
Hope you like the little walk around.

Very beautiful
I've lived in Poole all my life - 64 years. In that time it has gone from a beautiful town with a thriving High Street, well-kept parks and gardens, interesting independent shops and a competent council to the shit-hole you see today with a council that couldn't run a bath doing everything in their power to make it worse. You should have seen it in the 70s. Fantastic.
I used to come here on holiday as a kid - my parents would stop at Poole Pottery. I still like Poole just think it can and should be better.
I lived in the Poole/Parkstone area from the 1960s until January 1983, and I remember how vibrant and welcoming Poole town centre was in the 1970s, even in cold weather, especially the Arndale Centre (as the Dolphin Shopping Centre was then called). I haven't returned to the town centre for over forty years, and judging by this video it's on its way to becoming a ghost town. It's deplorable that a council could allow such a pleasant area to degenerate into this tatty microcosm of modern run-down Britain. Thanks for posting the video though.
I’ve lived in Poole for 31 years and since COVID the town has slowly died. The Quay used to be a great night out all ages enjoying live music. Bike nights and fireworks was always a good night out. But it’s just dying with the high street full
Of charity shops. Such a shame as it’s a great place to live
My mum me and my brother were all born in Poole I love Poole and all it's history
Recently visited the area for five days wasn’t overly impressed
Not showing Poole at its best, a rather drab March day, come in the summer and it is totally different although the shops are in need of updating
@@garyfulcher4954 yes everywhere looks better in the sun. 👍
no one can be bothered to walk up the high street from the shopping centre ,its been slowly dying for years
That's a shame - I liked Poole but thought it should be better. Councils need to wake up, buy the empty commercial property and make smaller units that they then rent out. Encourage more independent shops. We used to be a nation of shopkeepers!
Very Very boring
