Christchurch is a borough and town on the south coast of England. The town of Christchurch adjoins Bournemouth in the west and the New Forest lies to the east. Historically in the county of Hampshire, Christchurch became part of the administrative county of Dorset in the 1974 reorganisation of local government. Covering an area of 19.5 square miles (51 km2).
Founded in the 7th century at the confluence of the rivers Avon and Stour which flow into Christchurch Harbour, the town was originally named Twynham but became known as Christchurch following the construction of the priory in 1094. The town developed into an important trading port and was fortified in the 9th century. Further defences were added in the 12th century with the construction of a castle which was destroyed by the Parliamentarian Army during the English Civil War. During the 18th and 19th centuries smuggling flourished in Christchurch and became one of the town's most lucrative industries. The town was heavily fortified during Second World War as a precaution against an expected invasion and in 1940 an Airspeed factory was established on the town's airfield which manufactured aircraft for the Royal Air Force.
The town's harbour, beaches, nature reserves and historically important buildings have made Christchurch a popular tourist destination attracting some 1.5 million visitors a year. Bournemouth Airport, an international airport which handles approximately 800,000 passengers a year, is located within the borough boundary at Hurn. The airport's industrial park contains a number of aerospace and engineering businesses and is one of the largest employment sites in Dorset. Christchurch is a popular destination for retirees and has one of the oldest populations in the country with 30 per cent of residents aged over 65.
Christchurch is the most easterly coastal town of Dorset and lies within the historic county boundaries of Hampshire. The town abuts Bournemouth to the west and is approximately 9 miles (14 km) east of Poole, 20 miles (32 km) west of Southampton, 23 miles (37 km) south of Salisbury. The town centre lies between the rivers Avon and Stour which flow directly into Christchurch Harbour. The borough boundaries stretch to Hurn Forest in the north encompassing Bournemouth Airport and eastwards along the coast as far as Walkford.
Christchurch has some 199 kilometres (124 mi) of highway of which 24 kilometres (15 mi) are A roads, 32 kilometres (20 mi) are B and C roads. Christchurch railway station is on the South Western Main Line from London Waterloo to Weymouth. Bournemouth Airport is situated in Hurn (a small village within the Christchurch Borough boundary) and is around 3.75 miles (6.04 km) north-west of Christchurch town centre.

Ride New Zealand's Earthquake Railway aboard the Coastal Pacific (train) along the Kaikoura Coast
This is my favourite New Zealand train ride, at times it feels as though our wheels are running in the surf, where else can you see fur seals, dolphins, surf-riders, amazing turquoise sea, ribbon rivers and stunning mountains from the comfort of railway carriage?
The train was suspended after 14th November 2016 due to damage to the rail line caused by the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake and that could well have been the end of the story. Fortunately New Zealanders are at their best when faced with adversity, they fought against the odds and the service was restored for the 2019 summer season.
I had used this service several times before the quake and I was keen to see the newly restored route in operation. The scale of the changes took me by surprise as did the amount of work still required. I drove the parallel road route the following day, work was taking place on and around the railway at many locations, it is a wonder that they manage to run trains at all. To get some idea of the task faced after the quake, please click on this link -
If you’ve taken a look at the photos shown at the link above, you will have seen the devastation for yourself. The quake might have destroyed both the road and railway in many places, but the views from the window are still as spectacular as ever, I hope you can find time to join me for a ride on the Coastal Pacific.
