.Bournemouth is Dorset’s most popular coastal town, and remains a favourite resort with visitors of all ages. Bournemouth’s rolling sandy beaches, palm-lined walks and bubbly nightlife attract young people, families and the retired to get away from it all by the sea. Bournemouth has been renowned as an ideal location for rest and recuperation since the 1800s, and many travelled each year to benefit from its seawater and pine air.
Visitors to Bournemouth can still take a stroll to the beach along ‘Invalid’s Walk’, which is sheltered by a long row of palm trees and was planted by Lewis Tregonwell – who founded Bournemouth as a settlement. Bournemouth is home to more than 2000 acres of gardens and parks, so there is always a new path to stroll or garden to admire during your stay.
