About Bournemouth
Bournemouth is a large Dorset resort town within Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council, best known for its golden beaches, pier, gardens, aquarium, entertainment venues and easy rail links to London and Southampton. It works especially well for a UK seaside weekend because the central beach, Lower Gardens, Pier Approach, Oceanarium, Russell-Cotes museum, BIC and Pavilion Theatre sit close to the town-centre and seafront core. Hotel prices can look modest outside peak periods, but beach weekends, school holidays and events can push rates up sharply.
