Bournemouth’s gardens are split into three areas of Victorian beauty. The Lower Gardens begin at Pier Approach and lead up to the Town Centre, where the Central Gardens can be found. The Upper Gardens follow on from these and include a delightful tree trail walk. Together, the gardens stretch for a mile and a half. They are accessible from start to finish, with wide level pathways that take in the many and varied trees, shrubs and herbaceous perennials. The gardens are planted to provide interest throughout the year.
The Lower Gardens play host to many events, especially during the summer months. These include concerts at the Pine Walk Bandstand.
In the Victorian era, the aroma from the pine trees in the Lower Gardens was considered beneficial for chest complaints. The rock garden here was constructed in 1930 and is one of the largest municipal rock gardens in the country. Planting pockets have been created amongst the rock terraces to enable alpine and rock plants from around the world to be grown. The Lower Gardens also feature an aviary, found by the Pine Walk.
Boscombe Chine Gardens can be found to the east of Bournemouth Pier and Alum Chine Tropical Gardens to the west. These gardens are planted on slopes from seafront level up to road level and take advantage of the mild microclimate that exists along this stretch of coastline. They are wheelchair accessible, with seating located throughout. However, there are steep inclines in places.
While you are in the area, why not also visit the Italianate Gardens just off Boscombe Cliff Road. These peaceful gardens offer an ideal point from which to enjoy fabulous views of the Bay. For further information please click this link to our parks and gardens page.
Accommodation in Bournemouth is extremely diverse, with something to satisfy everyone’s taste, pocket and accessibility requirements. The accommodation providers listed below have stated that they have some accessible facilities. As personal circumstances vary, we strongly recommend contacting establishments before booking to confirm that they are suitable for your specific needs.

Our Disabled Exempt Vehicle parking permit (DTEV), allows permit holders to park in most Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council off-street pay and display car parks when open to the public without buying a pay and display ticket.
Applications are welcome for a Disabled Tax Exempt Vehicle Permit if your vehicle is registered as tax exempt on grounds of disability or if your vehicle would qualify for disability exemption as detailed on GOV.UK
The vehicle must be registered in the disabled person’s name or their nominated driver’s name. The permit must only be used for the disabled person’s personal needs; it cannot be used by the nominated driver for their own personal use.
The permit gives exemption to pay and display charges in all BCP Council Pay and Display car parks
The permit does not give exemption to the charges if parking in a BCP Council Pay on Exit car park (e.g. multi-storey car park)
There is not a requirement for the permit to be used in conjunction with a valid disabled badge. However, if you are parking in a Disabled Parking Space a valid disabled badge must be displayed.
