Bournemouth is a seaside resort approximately 25 miles south west of Lyndhurst. It's known for having 7 miles of sandy beaches, Victorian architecture and buzzing nightlife in areas such as the Triangle. The resort is also home to Bournemouth Pier, an activity centre with an obstacle course, a climbing wall and a zip line. The 2-mile long Bournemouth Gardens offer rock gardens, an aviary and numerous plant species - plenty to keep you occupied if the weather is too cold for a swim!
