About Poole
Poole is a large coastal town and seaport in Dorset on the south coast of England. The town is 21 miles (34 km) east of Dorchester and adjoins Bournemouth to the east. The earliest recorded use of the town’s name was in the 12th century when the town began to emerge as an important port. At its peak during the 18th century, Poole was one of the busiest ports in Britain.
