Things to do in Bournemouth

The Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum

Russell Cotes Road, Bournemouth, BH1 3AA

http://www.russell-cotes.bournemouth.gov.uk

In 1901, Merton Russell-Cotes gave his wife Annie a dream house on a cliff-top, overlooking the sea. It was an extraordinary, extravagant birthday present – lavish, splendid, and with a touch of fantasy. They filled this exotic seaside villa with beautiful objects from their travels across the world, and lined the walls with a remarkable collection of British art, creating a unique atmosphere in a most dramatic setting. A home, an art gallery, and a museum. Then they sealed it in time, and gave it to the future.

The Goat and Tricycle is a specialist real-ale tavern with up to 11 guest beers, plus pub grub and a patio garden. It is a 20-minute walk from the Hotel.

27-29 West Hill Road, Bournemouth, BH2 5PF




Bournemouth Square is the centre of Bournemouth (although not very square). There are a number of shops that can be found either in the square (Debenhams, Smiths, Boots) or on the roads that run from the square (Marks & Spencer, Lush, Beals). There are a number of places to eat and drink both in the Square and the adjoining roads.

In the Lower Gardens there is a mini golf course, a bandstand and a tethered balloon. http://www.bournemouthballoon.com/

Bournemouth Square is a 13-minute walk from the hotel.

Being on the coast there are many beautiful places to walk.
