The electoral ward of Mudeford, Stanpit & West Highcliffe sits on the eastern edge of the unitary authority of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole in England, hugging the coastline around Christchurch Harbour. It combines a mix of small seaside settlements - Mudeford with its famous quay and sandbank, the wildlife-rich saltmarsh of Stanpit, and the cliff-top neighbourhoods of West Highcliffe - giving a strong coastal character.
The area is notable for Stanpit Marsh, a protected nature reserve with important birdlife, and for recreational boating, fishing and tourism centred on Mudeford Quay and the sandbank community. Historically and visually striking features such as Highcliffe Castle and nearby Hengistbury Head add heritage and dramatic shoreline scenery, while the local economy balances tourism, small-scale fishing and a largely residential commuter population.
