Highcliffe, Hampshire
Highcliff is a seaside town in Hampshire. The town started as the hamlet of Slop Pond which was renamed Newtown around 1830 as the area became a popular tourist destination. Between 1831 and 1835, Lord Stuart de Rothesay built Highcliffe Castle, a Gothic Revival home, near the site of High Cliff House, his father's Georgian estate. The growing town was renamed Highcliff in 1892. The town is within the council area of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole
