The Bournemouth Coast Path is a 20-mile-long footpath through Dorset and Hampshire , England from Sandbanks to Milford-on-Sea .[ 1]
The path follows the coastline and goes through Bournemouth , Boscombe , Southbourne , Hengistbury Head , Mudeford and Highcliffe .
Ferry at Hengistbury Head
Between Hengistbury Head and Mudeford the path uses a ferry to cross Christchurch Harbour . In winter, when the ferry does not usually run, there is a 3-mile detour through Christchurch .
The Bournemouth Coast Path performs an important role by connecting the South West Coast Path (by the Sandbanks Ferry ) in the west and the Solent Way in the east.
