About Bournemouth
Bournemouth grew from empty heathland after 1810 into one of England’s great seaside resorts: long sandy beaches between Alum Chine and Hengistbury Head, piers at Bournemouth and Boscombe, gardens running down the valley of the Bourne to the sea, and a clifftop villa full of Victorian treasures.
