This month we are visiting the family run Avon Marina in Christchurch, Dorset, which is set in beautiful surroundings, whilst only being a few minutes from the centre of the town. Previously known as Rossiters Boatyard, Avon Marina was bought in 2019 by a local family and comprehensive improvement works commenced straight away to make it a place for visitors to enjoy whilst providing a wrap-around fully operational boatyard with on-site engineers, fuel station, boat sales and chandlery.
The marina is set in a beautiful, historyrich town with picturesque views of the Christchurch Priory, one of the longest parish churches in the country, Stanpit Marsh, a 65-hectare nature reserve designated a ite of pecial cientific nterest in and Hengistbury Head, which is a site of international archaeological importance.
