Bus
Castlepoint is a major shopping centre served by several frequent bus services. There are four bus stops, A B C & D for Castlepoint, none of which are more than two minutes' walk from the hall. Stop A (by the Castlepoint Pharmacy) is on the wrong side of the dual carriageway; the other stops are on the same side as the hall, Stops B & C very close-by. Opposite Stop 'D' is a road sign to the Library; walk that way.
Indeed, if you are unsure which way to go, ask for the Library or, if it seems more appropriate for your interlocutor, Nando's!
Many local bus routes serve Castlepoint. Those perhaps of most help to non-locals are:
Blue Bus (MoreBus) on Route M1 from Poole, Branksome & BOURNEMOUTH STATION.
Blue Bus (MoreBus) on Route 14 from Poole and Kinson.
