Appreciated for its beautiful landscapes, its sweet weather and its various tourist activities, this Southern England seaside resort offers many pleasant walks and swims, with its 7 miles of golden sand on the edge of a deep blue sea, its numerous parks and gardens, and a lively city centre.
You can stroll whether in the stores or in the small workshops... and in the restaurants and pubs, you can enjoy typical products like exotic cooking...
Much advertising is also available for all ages: castles and ruins, manors and picturesque villages in the area are worth seeing.
Don't forget to take a walk in the wonderful New Forest, to contemplate the spectacular Jurassic Coast, and to ride the undulating countryside, where the writer Thomas Hardy used to live.
You can chose to discover these exceptional sites by a mini-cruise along Purbeck Coast and Poole's natural harbour islands. Why not spending a day on one of them? Or enjoying a spectacular sight on the coast, the city and the landscape in a hot-air balloon?
Cultural and sport events also liven up Bournemouth, a city of students which attracts all year long young people from all over the world...
