Parkstone, Poole, BH14 9NP

Parkstone is an area of Poole, in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole district, in the ceremonial county of Dorset, England. It is divided into two distinct parts: Lower Parkstone, locally referred to as "The Village", which lies adjacent to Poole Harbour, and Upper Parkstone, known locally as "Up-on-'ill" due to its higher ground slightly to the north of the lower-lying area. This division gives residents a range of settings within the same locality, from waterfront proximity in the lower area to a more elevated perspective in the upper area. The neighbourhood is part of the larger Poole community and falls within the BH 14 postal district, placing it within the administrative boundaries of the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole district. The area’s character is shaped by its coastal proximity and the distinct topography of its two sections, offering a blend of harbourside living and higher ground views within a single locality.
