Canford Magna is a popular village set just south of the River Stour, between the market town of Wimborne Minster and the coastal resort of Poole. It is home to the independent Canford School, and a quintessentially English parish church, the oldest part of which is nearly 1000 years old. The village is known for its picturesque period properties, and offers easy road access to Poole and Bournemouth, both of which have mainline rail links to London Waterloo.
