Bearwood is a largely residential suburb in the north of the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole unitary area in Dorset, England. It lies between the larger town centres of Bournemouth and Poole and grew up mainly during the late 19th and 20th centuries as the coastal conurbation expanded.
Today Bearwood has a relaxed, community feel with a mix of Victorian terraces and post‑war housing, a small parade of shops, local churches and community centres, and easy road links for commuters into the nearby towns. Its proximity to green spaces and the south coast means residents benefit from beaches and harbour attractions within a short drive, making it popular with families and people seeking more affordable housing close to seaside amenities.
