Romantic Breaks

Bournemouth Seafront & Promenade • Boscombe Chine Gardens • Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum • Bournemouth Pier • Bournemouth Town Centre

Day 1:

Wake up to the sound of the waves gently lapping on the shore and the fresh sea breeze ruffling your hair. Hire a tandem bike and freewheel with your loved one along the prom.

Once you reach Boscombe, take a break from the saddle and enjoy a romantic walk through the Chine and Italianate Gardens. A £2 million pound project has recently restored the gardens to their former Victorian glory, making this a truly secret hideaway beside the sea. With mini golf and a café, you can stock up on refreshments after a leisurely putt.

Head back to the centre of Bournemouth and continue your romantic break with a trip to one of the UK’s most unique museum houses – the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum. The ultimate declaration of love, this exotic clifftop villa was built by Merton Russell-Cotes as a birthday present for his wife Annie and is filled with beautiful objects from their travels across the globe, as well as a remarkable collection of British art and a year-round exhibition programme.
