Bournemouth and its suburbs cover an area of over 14 miles. Over the years, the seaside town has been expanded rapidly and is now an eclectic mix of designer shops, high street names and fashionable cafes.

The nightlife is varied and extensive and the long sandy beach is a definite draw, as are its gardens, which lead from the town to the sea.

There is much on offer for the tourist including several museums. The town hosts European street markets and firework displays at various times throughout the year.
