Canford Heath is a suburb and area of heathland in Poole, Dorset, known for being the largest heathland in Dorset[citation needed], and the largest lowland heath in the UK.[citation needed] It is also the name of the housing development built on the heathland in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The area is split into two wards, and at the 2011 census the combined population of the two wards was 14,079.[1][2]
