Poole Trail

About

Poole Trail is an interactive way for Poole's visitors and residents to experience Poole Quay, Old Town and Harbourside Park.

Poole Trail offers multimedia insights that relate to specific sites, object and places around the town and museum.  Each signpost tells different stories and hidden tales about Poole's heritage and historic buildings, natural environment and wildlife, attractions and public art.

There are three different trails - one inside Poole Museum and two around the town.

As you walk follow the trails on your smartphone or tablet, and explore more when you get home on your laptop or PC.
