The Vintage
Ferry Service starts from Tuckton Tea Gardens, calling at
Wick
Ferry, Christchurch
Quay and Mudeford Sandbank.
Most people catch the ferry at Christchurch
for the beach at Mudeford Sandbank or to walk over the prehistoric
Hengistbury
Head. You can also continue the walk making a circular trip
by crossing the river at the Wick Ferry back to Christchurch.
History
There are 4 vintage boats all built
in 1934/5 in a local boatyard, which still exists in today. These
ferries have maintained the service across Christchurch Harbour
every year since their construction, except during the war, when
they were commandeered by the Navy.
