    Default Beautiful Dorset, West Country.

    Bournemouth, Dorset, South-West England

    Bournemouth (pronounced as 'Bourn-muth'.)
    My original hometown where I was born; I spent most of my childhood here.
    Many of my maternal and paternal relatives
    were born and died here, dating back to past the Victorian era.

    Dorset is one of the counties in south-west England
    which is known as 'King Arthur's West Country';
    which includes the counties of Dorset, Devon, Somerset and Celtic Cornwall.

    Bournemouth is a small conservative town on the south-west coast of England.
    The Conservative Party hold their annual conference
    in Bournemouth every year.

    Bournemouth is 90 minutes train ride from London, with award-winning public gardens,
    clean and safe beaches, and lots of fun things for children,
    so I enjoyed growing up here and have lots of happy memories of the place.

    The town is popular with tourists and it has the best beaches in Britain.

    Ancient World Heritage sites like Stonehenge,
    and also Avebury, Woodhenge, Beaulieu, etc,
    are close to reach from Bournemouth,
    along with the World Heritage City of Bath with its beautiful Roman Spas,
    the New Forest (actually an old forest!)
    Corfe Castle (the ruins of a Norman castle on top of a hill,)
    Maiden Castle (an ancient Celtic hill fort - the largest in Europe,)
    Cerne Abbas Giant,
    the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coastline between Dorset and Devon,
    (an area showing continuous fossil-findings
    and proof of life dating to over 185 million years ago,)
    and a world-class sailing location are all nearby in the West Country region,
    as well as the English Riviera between Dorset and Devon.

    Steam trains still run through some pretty villages in Dorset too.
    Folk dancers can be seen sometimes in the villages,
    and local bandstands perform in the Pavilion Gardens during the summer season.

    Bournemouth has some of the best nightclubs on the south coast.
    Lifeguards are on the clean beaches.
    Ferry rides and a local airport provides quick rides
    to the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey.

    There's fun mini-golf courses, horse-riding in the New Forest,
    Childrens motor-carting, childrens mini-train rides, childrens mini boat paddling,
    windsurfing, paragliding off the cliffs, speedboats, jet-skiing,
    childrens adventure parks, an Oceanarium Aquarium,
    a swimming pool with a wave-machine in the Bournemouth International Centre,
    and there's aerobatic displays in the sky over the sea by the elite RAF Red Arrows,
    and also night-glider twister jet planes with fireworks coming out the planes
    give performances over the sea during the summer accompanied with music.

    There's cliff-lifts and zig-zag paths along the cliffs, a pier with entertainment,
    a fun Science Centre for children in Poole Park,
    childrens mini train rides around the edge of the entire park,
    a 'sandman' in Weymouth who makes ornaments from sand,
    and the local public participate in candle-lighting
    of candles placed in coloured glass jars
    which are arranged in decorative designs in the gardens during the Yule season,
    plus loads more to mention.

    Open-roofed buses travel on the ferries to Brownsea Island,
    and catamaran's travel to the Isle of Wight.

    A nationwide survey found that people who live in Bournemouth
    were found to be the happiest people in the UK
    in their responses when people across Britain were asked
    how happy they felt with life in the nationwide survey.
    Maybe it's due to the extra sunlight hours in B'm'th.

    Bournemouth, Dorset









    The 'Bournemouth Eye' is a hot air balloon which gives people rides in the balloon
    for birds-eye views over Bournemouth.












    The elite British RAF (Royal Air Force) Red Arrows (who've given thousands of displays in over 55 nations worldwide)
    give performances over the sea by the beach and cliffs in Bournemouth every summer.


    The main beach can be over-packed with tourists during the summer,
    (for those who like beaches during the summer - there's very quiet and secluded beaches which can be found in Dorset too.)
    Families often like to walk along the beach for several miles during the winter season.

    Bournemouth, Dorset.
    There's plenty of public transport around all over Britain,
    so tourists can easily hop-on-and-off buses to get around,
    within towns and cities and in the countryside too.






















    There's a zip-line for sky rides from Bournemouth Pier (attractions are on the pier too)
    across the sea to the beach, paragliding off the cliffs, speedboats, jet-skiing, windsurfing, etc.
    There's an outdoor public ice-skating rink in the winter.
