About Poole

Poole Town Centre has much to offer all year round and not only does Poole boast fantastic dining and drinking facilities, a shopping experience not to be missed, it also offers family fun for all to enjoy. Poole Town Centre is rich in history, character and as a destination offers an experience you’ll never forget. 

The town centre is situated in the heart of Poole and stretches from the waters edge at Poole Quay up to the Dolphin Shopping Centre. Poole has great historical heritage, something the town is very proud of. From humble beginnings the town centre grew up from the quay as it became one of the South Coasts most important mediaeval ports. 

At the Quay and lower High Street you will find yourself surrounded by the stunning harbour and medieval buildings. In the main High Street you can see the Georgian Mansions and art deco style buildings leading into the Dolphin Shopping Centre.
