Bournemouth Today - has an easy and relaxed feel to it, the mixture of ne buildings, colourful parks and its glorious beaches, ensure Bournemouth is still one of the south coast's premier destinations. There is certainly no shortage of things to see and do, in and around Bournemouth.

As you descend into Bournemouth from any of its many approaches (it sits in a valley or chine), you immediately feel that Bournemouth has that extra dimension. Mile upon mile of soft creamy sand stretches out towards Sandbanks and Poole Harbour in one direction, while in the other, it boasts impressive hotels and guest houses perched high above a steep cliff face.

There are endless seafront walks and glorious pine-scented woodlands and chines, that tumble gracefully down to the sea. Clean and scrubbed, Bournemouth is still a place to come and enjoy the best a British seaside resort has to offer.
