| Bournemouth Travel Guide for backpackers |
| Known for its stretches of clean sandy beaches and heady holiday atmosphere, Bournemouth has been around since 1811, when Louis Tregonwell built himself a quiet little retreat on the unpopulated and wild heath land.
He would throw a thrombie if he came back from the grave. The sprawling metropolis, of which Bournemouth resort is the centre, reaches from Lymington to Poole Harbour and is anything but quiet. |
