Bournemouth

General Information about Bournemouth

Bournemouth is a large town and popular tourist destination located in the south of England. Although the town lies on the coastline of England, the town centre lies further inland. With a population of more than 163,400 people, Bournemouth is the largest settlement in the Dorset area and forms the main part of the South East Dorset conturbation with the adjoining town of Poole, which lies just west of Bournemouth.

Bournemouth is a major tourist centre, with seven miles of beaches and the award winning Central Gardens park alongside many other attractions and interesting places to visit such as the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum, St Andrew's Richmond Hill Church, Bournemouth Reform Synagogue and St Peter's Church. Bournemouth is also home to the Royal Bath Hotel which has seen many famous guests including Oscar Wilde, H.G. Wells, Edward VII and Edward VII.

St Peter's Church is located in the heart of Bournemouth, where it has stood for over a hundred years. Buried in the churchyard is Mary Shelley (author of Frankenstein), her parents and the heart of her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley. St Peter's Church holds special sermons and events during the year, as well as regular daily services.

Situated on East Cliff in Bournemouth is the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum which is housed in one of the last Italian villas in the town. The gallery and museum hosts an extensive collection of artworks by various artists of the Victorian period and valuable objects of art from Japan and Burma. The Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum features many permanent exhibits as well as temporary exhibitions throughout the year.
