MenuBournemouth, Hampshire
Bournemouth is a coastal resort town in Hampshire. Bournemouth was founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell and named from the River Bourne. This new village became popular as a holiday resort but its growth accelerated with the arrival of the railway. It has remained a major tourist destination ever since. The glorious Central Gardens lead for several miles down the valley of the Bourne through the centre of the town reaching the sea at Bournemouth Pier. Bournemouth's sea front overlooks Poole Bay and the Isle of Wight. The town is within the council area of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.
