Pickup in Corfe Mullen

For the Stansted run: Corfe Mullen is a large village on the western edge of the conurbation, just south of Wimborne. It sits right on the A31 corridor, which makes it one of the faster pickup points for Heathrow, Gatwick and Southampton — you're on the main airport road within minutes and never touch the Poole one-way system. The village spreads across several lanes (Blandford Road, Knoll Lane, Waterloo Road) with a mix of housing from cottages to modern estates. Pickups are residential and straightforward, though some of the lanes are narrow so we confirm access for larger MPVs in advance. Corfe Mullen's position adjacent to the A31 at Merley means it shares Wimborne's routing advantages — clean eastbound access without the Bournemouth town-centre penalty, and fast westbound to Southampton via the M27.
