The area centres around Meyrick Park, a beautiful and historic area of 120 acres that dates back to the Doomsday Book! Both 'The Club at Meyrick Park' and 'The West Hants Club' provide indoor and outdoor tennis courts, swimming pools, gyms, and also act as social hubs for the local community.

Talbot Woods is also home to the highly regarded 'Talbot Heath School' with 'Park School' located in nearby Queens Park, which is also where both the Bournemouth girls and boys grammar schools are located.
