Bournemouth is a vibrant, thriving and marvelously exciting city, despite the unfortunate fact that it is known as ‘God’s waiting Room’. The sad reason why Bournemouth is called this is that large numbers of elderly people settle here for the period of their retirement. However, the city of Bournemouth has an incredible youth culture, with a high population of university and language students. Obviously a place such as this will be a excellent place to have a few days fun but, there is lots, lots more to keep you interested. In actual fact Bournemouth is surprisingly popular with all ages, the most probable reason why there are so many businesses offering Bournemouth bed and breakfast to choose from.
Bournemouth is found right on the coast in the South of England, roughly 100m southwest of the capital, London. The largest town found on the south coast, Bournemouth, is widely known for its seven miles of spectacular golden sandy beaches and glistening rich blue sea. It is the city’s mind blowing situation that has made it a popular UK tourist destination since the start of the 19C. It is nearly impossible to understand that in and around the area of Bournemouth was, at the start of the 1800′s, nothing less than a remote and barren heathland consisting of mainly common land with the exception of Sir George Ivison Tapps’. In the year 1809 a public house appeared on the heathland, the Tapps Arms, a few of years later, in eighteen twelve, the first people, a retired army officer and wife, moved in.
Lewis Tregonwell and his wife acquired some land, from Sir George Ivison Tapps, upon which they built a series of villas looking out to sea with the idea being to let them out to visitors in the summer for vacations. Lewis Tregonwell and his wife also constructed themselves a summerhouse. and also set about planting an astronomical amount of pine trees, creating a fantastically sheltered walk leading to the beach, , which was later called the Invalid’s walk.
Ever since those days Bournemouth’s popularity, as a English vacation destination, has ceaselessly increased, and today, it is widely known as a tourist haven for culture, entertainment, leisure, recreation and fun.
