There’s plenty to see in Bournemouth, and you can do it on foot. With guided walking tours around the town and trails to follow through the gardens, you can see the best bits of the resort at a leisurely pace. You can find out about our Victorian heritage and the prominent people who’ve lived and stayed in Bournemouth. Our nature reserves, parks, and gardens are great for learning more about plants and wildlife.
Of course, you can plan your own route, making sure you visit the things that interest you the most. You may even want to jump on a bike to do your sightseeing! You’ll cover more distance in a day, and you can even hire bikes if you haven’t brought your own.
If you fancy a day of sightseeing in the countryside, you can explore the delights of Dorset and the surrounding area on a bus tour including trips to famous landmarks including the Jurassic Coast, Stonehenge, and the New Forest. If you find yourself in the Purbecks, you can even see the sights from a steam train as it chugs through the hilly countryside.
One of the best ways to see our breath-taking scenery is by boat. You can take to the water on a sightseeing cruise or hire a private charter along miles of magnificent coastline and prehistoric rock formations. For a completely unique view of the area, you can even jump aboard a pleasure flight from the airport and see everything from the air!
Bournemouth’s transport links are also excellent, so the other sights and cities of the South are just a train or bus ride away. Wherever you choose to go, Bournemouth is a great base and the perfect place to start and finish your tour.
