The Port Of Poole

History shows that the Romans used Poole as an invasion port for their conquest of Southern Britain.

During the time of the Northern Conquests Poole was still a fishing village and didn't come into its own as a major port until the early 18th century when it had more ships trading with North America than any other English port.

Since that time the Port has become more and more important and, in the last twenty years, has seen a considerable increase in prosperity through a programme of modernisation which has redeveloped the commercial links with Europe. It is approximately 120 miles from London and has one of the worlds largest natural harbours and serves both cross channel ferries, and cargo vessels, with passenger ferries sailing to France, and the Channel Islands.

Brittany Ferries offer 3 daily sailings from Poole to Cherbourg aboard their luxurious cruise ferries while Condor Ferries offer daily services to the Channel Islands and from Poole to St Malo in France. Poole Harbour is a centre for yachting. In addition to tourism, the town's industries include engineering and boatbuilding, manufacture of caravans and pottery from local clay.
