Take a trip down to Poole, it’s always close to the top of our national sunshine league, has the cleanest seawater, the biggest natural harbour and Poole even boasts an award-winning fish and chip shop. Yet Poole is better known for its harbour than its holidays. It’s considered more dockside than seaside – a place for catching ferries rather than catching the sun.
