Famous for its 12km of sandy beaches, beautiful parks and gardens and a cosmopolitan atmosphere, Bournemouth blends a traditional British seaside resort with a busy and thriving town.

Bournemouth's neighbouring town is Poole which boasts Europe's largest natural harbour. Poole's quayside area dates back nearly 1,000 years to Roman times and is now home to many bars, cafes and restaurants.

As one of the UK’s most popular tourism resorts, enjoying some of the best weather in the country and with a wealth of things to see and do, you can be sure of an enjoyable time here.
