Avalon is tucked away as you drive through Lilliput and towards Evening Hill and Sandbanks, the close is peaceful and quiet. From some areas of the communal gardens you can see glimpses of the water in the harbour.

Poole Harbour is the 2nd largest natural harbour in the world and haven to boats of all sizes. There are of course numerous yacht clubs, marinas and slipways.

There is also a big cycling community in the area with a favourite venue being to cross over on the Sandbanks chain ferry to the Purbeck Hills. And Dorset's Jurassic Coast is a key destination in the UK for walkers. These hills guard the harbour and create the special microclimate that the area is famous for. Less energetically you can walk down to the famous Sandbanks beaches for a lazy day in the sun.

This is a wonderful location for entertainment and eateries, much within walking distance. A Sunday morning stroll down to Sandbanks can be rewarded by a bacon sandwich at Jazzy's cafe or up to Lilliput's famous Mark Bennett's award winning patisserie for a coffee and a cake. Lilliput is also home to Koh Nai's Thai Tapas. For young, fun nights out try the close by vibrant Ashley Cross. And there are a couple of great pubs in Canford Cliffs village. Also in the village, for the ladies, is the highly respected HNB hair salon and spa.

Or perhaps the best evening out is to walk 5 minutes to Evening Hill with fish 'n chips and sit on a bench and watch the fireworks exploding over the harbour.

For local shopping there is a Tesco Express in Lilliput, great for grabbing last minute essentials, or its a short drive to Westbourne where there is a M&S Simply food and in Branksome there is a large Tesco store and a Lidl for the weekly shop.

The local schools are excellent. At primary level, Lilliput first school is Ofsted rated outstanding. Baden Powell and St Peters rated good and at secondary level St Edwards and both Poole and Parkstone Grammars are similarly rated.
