Bearwood, Dorset
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bearwood is a suburb of the Dorset town of Poole in the UK, although as there is only one access road that does not go in through Bournemouth some think of it as being in that town. Bearwood is centred around a supermarket and medical and neighbourhood centre in King John Avenue. The area was mainly developed in the 1980's on what had been open heathland. The roads are named after titles of English nobility and people linked to the signing of the Magna Carta. This is derived from the fact that the oldest road in the area, a part of the Wimborne to Bournemouth road, is called Magna Road as it passes through the village of Canford Magna on route.
Buses from two companies serve Bearwood: the Wilts and Dorset 11 goes from Poole through the estate to Kinson and sometimes through to Ferndown and West Moors. The Transdev Yellow Buses 4a route goes to Bournemouth via Kinson, Winton and Bournemouth railway station.
Canford Arena is within sturdy walking distance of Bearwood along the Magna Road (A341).
