Nowadays, Verwood attracts a different type of resident! It has all the attributes needed for an easy lifestyle, local attractions, great travel links, an assortment of shops and restaurants, and most importantly good schools.

On the flip side, away from the country, Verwood’s proximity to the South coast of the UK means a trip to the seaside is just 12 miles away. Bournemouth, Southbourne, Poole, Mudeford, and Boscombe beaches are all idyllic seaside locations.
