Bournemouth : General Information

Located on the south coast of England, Bournemouth is ideally situated as a beach resort but also has the added bonus of the New Forest on its doorstep. Fun filled holidays or weekend breaks are catered for with numerous attractions, both natural and manmade. Along with its seven-mile stretch of sandy beaches, stunning parks and fantastic nightlife, Bournemouth is the ideal resort location in Britain.

With over 2,000 acres of picturesque gardens and an award-winning sandy beach, it is possible to slip away from the usual hustle and bustle of modern life, just like the Victorians did when swimming and sunbathing became a national past-time. The Victorian era was when Bournemouth became the institution it is today.

The town itself is packed with impressive Victorian and Edwardian architecture which has been excellently preserved, maintaining Bournemouth’s unique atmosphere on the south coast. The town centre has a plethora of boutiques providing visitors with exquisite shopping possibilities.

Getting around the town is easy as the centre is pedestrian friendly and bus services are frequent and reliable. When the sun sets and the town’s nightlife kicks in, there is no difficulty in finding a taxi to take you to any one of the numerous bars and restaurants. Nightclubs open until the early hours of you want to continue the party experience.
