Bournemouth has all you need for a fun packed holiday, relaxing break, or a party weekend - to suit any budget. Seven glorious miles of sandy beach are the main attraction but being nestled between a national park and a heritage coast means there is something to keep everyone happy! Beach lovers will revel in all the activities and facilities available on the seafront. Liverpool Victoria's Kidzone scheme keeps the children safe, while daily cleansing and a dog ban (May to September) keeps it clean. A packed events calendar means you are likely to come across half marathons, international volleyball competitions and powerboating events whilst walking the prom!
The Garden by the sea has been awarded five green flags for its 2,000 acres of beautiful parks and gardens. The gardens come alive in the spring and summer with a mosaic of flowers and half a million bulbs. Bournemouth is perfectly positioned to reach the splendours of Hampshire and Wiltshire, with the outstanding natural beauty of Dorset on its doorstep. With excellent restaurants and vibrant nightlife you will be kept entertained into the early hours, just as you would expect from a lively international resort. The clubs, bars, pubs and theatres make Bournemouth the entertainment capital of Britains South Coast.
Bournemouth is an elegant, pine-fringed coastal resort in a south facing sheltered bay with seven miles of golden sands on the south coast of England. The town is set in the attractive countryside designated as an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty", with the Dorset Heritage Coast and The New Forest within easy reach. There are several no-smoking beaches, four miles of dog free sands and zoned watersports. Bistros, bars and family diners are much in evidence along the mainly traffic free promenade. The area has attractions for visitors of all ages.
The town's mainly Victorian architecture is complemented by a lively cosmopolitan street scene, interesting shops and a variety of nightlife and theatres. The award winning pleasure gardens flank the Bourne stream for two miles and provide a pine scented stage for some of the many free festivals and events taking place in Bournemouth 100 days of the year. More than £60m has been invested in leisure developments, including 2D and 3D IMAX complex, and a new look square laced with palm trees and Edwardian street furniture, giving the town a more continental feel. Bournemouth is made up of several distinct districts, each with its own style and pace. All the areas are within easy reach of the town centre and can be reached by bus or promenade train.
The town centre is situated in a valley between East and West Cliffs. There is extensive shopping, leisure and nightlife options, including clubs, bars, theatres and restaurants. There are extensive gardens, tennis centre, balloon rides, seafront, pier and amusements.
The Russell-Cotes Museum (formally, the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum) is an art gallery and museum in Bournemouth, England. It is located on the top of the East Cliff, next to the Royal Bath Hotel. In 1897, the architect John Frederick Fogerty was commissioned by Merton Russell-Cotes, then the owner of the Royal Bath Hotel, to build a house as a birthday present for his wife Annie. Originally called East Cliff Hall it was built in the northeast section of his hotel's garden. Built in the Art Nouveau style with interiors by John Thomas and his son Oliver. It was completed in its first form in 1901.
In 1907, Annie Russell-Cotes donated East Cliff Hall and its contents as a museum to the town of Bournemouth and Merton donated his fine art collection. In return they were made honorary freemen of the town. They continued living in part of the house and over the next ten years they paid for an extension to be built and made further donations including the freehold of the site. It was formally opened by Princess Beatrice in 1919. After their deaths the Borough of Bournemouth took over the running of East Cliff Hall and re-opened it as the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum on the 10th March 1922. After Sir Merton's death, it was extended into his part of the house; a further extension was opened in 2000.
