Bournemouth is famed for its seven mile golden beach. Soft
sand slopes gently from the pine clad chines into the water
of one of the most attractive bays on the south coast. The
town offers visitors an expansive variety of shops and restaurants,
parks and sub-tropical gardens.
The historic town of Christchurch is only a ten-minute drive
away and a little further is the glorious New Forest with
herds of wild deer and the famous ponies; to the west lies
the ancient kingdom of Wessex and Thomas Hardy country.
