1. Explore the City Centre Gardens
As this city is known as “England’s Coastal Garden”, it should come as no surprise that Bournemouth has lots of open green spaces and was built with pedestrians in mind.
Unlike many other towns and cities across the country, Bournemouth has a stunning network of gardens and woods coursing through the streets, being the “Lower”, “Central” and “Upper” Gardens that follow the River Bourne from the pier right to the northern end of the town.
So if you find yourselves with a bit of downtime, you can find the Lower Gardens right next to the entrance to Bournemouth Pier.

Built during the Victorian era, Bournemouth Pier was, like many others around the country at the time, one of Britain’s most popular tourist attractions, bringing in thousands of people over the summer months from all over the country.
Whilst many of the nation’s piers have fallen into disrepair, a handful of piers like Bournemouth have stood the test of time and still proves to be a fantastic attraction for locals and out-of-town visitors alike.
