- Din Dryfol Burial Chamber, Neolithic chambered tomb consisting of several large stones, one stands at about 10 feet (3 metres) high. The capstone has collapsed and many stones are missing but it is in a pleasant setting and worth visiting.
- The Mudeford Lifeboat station is located at Mudeford Quay and operates an inshore lifeboat. This is a very picturesque location at the entrance to Christchurch harbour. Visits are allowed during crew training, check schedule on display in boathouse notice board.
- Two ancient woodlands now nature reserves around Morpeth. Take a walk along the riverside path at Scotch Gill. It is a great place to visit to spot otters, kingfishers, trout and to hear woodland birds such as spotted flycatcher, long tailed tit and jay. The Ancient Woodland of Borough Woods Local Nature Reserve was once owned by the Abbey itself and is on the south bank of the River Wansbeck. There are footpaths throughout the woodland, including a circular route from the car park at High House Road.
- The Arthurian Centre is set in 20 acres surrounding ‘King Arthur’s Stone’ where King Arthur and Mordred met for their last battle. Both the inscribed stone and battle are both dated by earliest stories to AD540. The exhibition helps explain the history and legends of King Arthur. Well worth combing a visit with Tintagel Castle and nearby Camelford considered by some to be the site of Camelot.
- Tintern Abbey was a Cistercian abbey located on the Hook Peninsula and the Abbey was founded in 1203 by William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. Today the abbey is in ruins, although parts have been restored.
