Alum Chine Tropical Gardens • Bournemouth Beach • Bournemouth Pier • Bournemouth Lower Gardens, Central & Upper Gardens
Day 1 – AM:
Wake up to the scent of exotic flora and fauna at Alum Chine Tropical Gardens. With their origins in the 1920s, the shaded paths and wooded glades are perfect for quiet contemplation as you look out to sea.
Then jump on our iconic land train and take a ride back to Bournemouth seafront.
COFFEE: Bournemouth Seafront (suggestions include The Prom Café and seafront kiosks)
Finish your morning on a high – swoop into Bournemouth’s award winning beaches on the world’s first and only pier-to-shore zipwire – a thrilling, adrenaline fuelled ride over the waves.
LUNCH: Bournemouth Pier (suggestions include Key West Restaurant)
Day 1 – PM:
Take some time out on the sand and grab a quick siesta on Bournemouth Beach.
Hire a deckchair, build a sandcastle or roll up your trousers and take a paddle in the sea.
ICE CREAM: Bournemouth Gardens (suggestions include kiosks)
Stroll through Bournemouth’s historic Grade-II listed Lower Gardens – sunbathe among the flower beds on the lush green grass, stop for coffee at the Pine Walk aviary or play a spot of mini golf opposite the rippling Bourne River.
Walk on through the Central Gardens. First developed in the 1870s, they’re home to tennis courts, a playground and war memorial. Trails are marked through the gardens, with information boards and signs along the way.
The Upper Gardens was originally laid out as a private garden for the Durrant family in the 1860s and has a three continent theme – European, Asian and North American. There’s even a Gothic style Victorian water tower.
DINNER: Westbourne (suggestions include Chez Fred)
For an extra special treat…
Visit in the summer months and catch live music OnStage at Pier Approach – a series of family friendly outdoor concerts featuring local artists and bands.
