DESTINATION BOURNEMOUTH

It’s a stunner! Bournemouth beach is rated the fifth best in Europe and among the top 25 in the world. With a rich heritage and lots of cultural gems, this coastal town is buzzing with life, offering something for all ages and tastes. And if sea or town isn’t your thing, head out into the green rolling hills of the nearby Dorset countryside and discover all that the New Forest National Park has to offer. Dorset’s famous Jurassic Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and it’s just a daytrip from Bournemouth, simply waiting to be explored.
