West Parley
West Parley is a village in the sense that it has a church, a garden centre and a strong opinion about the garden centre. It sits between Bournemouth and Ferndown on a stretch of the Stour that the Iron Age lot fortified and everyone since has bungalowed, which tells you roughly where the ambition level settled. Nothing much happens here, and that is not a criticism, it is the entire product.
