Located in the county of Dorset, Bournemouth is a small seaside town that’s been a vacation destination for many years. Bournemouth’s idyllic seaside location and comfortable weather has made it a popular resort town, especially among the older generations of other parts of England, who often spend their vacation days on these shores.
Although there are some airlines that fly directly to the small
Bournemouth Airport, most travelers arrive from London’s Waterloo station or by car from nearby towns and cities.
The famous
Seven-Mile Beach is undoubtedly what draws most visitors to Bournemouth, and considering the clean air and calm scenery of the coastline, it’s no wonder that it’s such a popular destination. There are several hotels located along the beachfront and within an easy walking distance of the coast, offering great views and a chance to enjoy the famously mild climate of Bournemouth.
When not at the beach and craving a little more culture, head over to the impressive
Russel-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum, where a large collection of Victorian and other 19th Century art mingles with Japanese and Chinese art.
