The main coast path route between Southbourne and Mudeford is now open for the summer.
This is determined by Mudeford Ferry which operates daily during British Summer Time which has just started.
The winter route is via Wick Ferry/Tuckton Bridge and Christchurch.
From Mudeford the route is now known as Christchurch Coastal Path as it heads towards Highcliffe Castle and Chewton Bunny.
