Once in the town there is a network of buses running across Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch. There are also express services to Southampton and Salisbury. In the summer months enjoy the open bus service to Swanage, Compton Acres and along the cliffs of Bournemouth. There is also an open top guide bus that takes you around the town where places of interest are pointed out. Down on the seafront the ever popular land train runs linking up the seven miles of sandy beach. Children and adults love it and it saves your feet! For those who find the cliffs too much the “cable car” lifts on the East and the West sides are there to take the strain! During the spring and summer months enjoy a leisurely boat trip down to Swanage, Isle of Wight or round the spectacular Poole harbour on one of the Dorset Belle pleasure boats. From August to September an old paddle steamer “the Waverley” runs trips from Bournemouth Pier. (In fact one of the reasons piers were built were to give resorts without harbours the opportunity for people to enjoy boat trips. |
| Bournemouth has a population of 163,444, making it the largest settlement in Dorset. The town was founded by Lewis Tregonwell in 1810 and grew steadily and became a proper town in 1870, when the railway came. Since 1997 the town has been administered by a unitary authority. The town is the home of the Bournemouth International Centre and is also home to several financial companies including JPMorgan Chase, Nationwide Building Society, Liverpool Victoria and Standard Life Healthcare. | Bournemouth is a place to soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the scenery, to relax in the parks and the gardens and to enjoy the experience of a holiday in a traditional English seaside resort, for most times of the year. The climate belongs somewhere much further south.11 kilometres of beautiful sandy beaches with lifeguards stationed near the busy areas |
