One of the most popular seaside resort towns in England during the Victorian period, Bournemouth stretches along seven miles of sandy beaches in a sheltered bay. Several well-known figures are buried in St Peter's church, Bournemouth, including author Mary Shelley and her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley. There are all the facilities you would expect in a modern seaside resort, plus family activities such as the Bournemouth Oceanarium, and the Bournemouth Eye, providing amazing aerial views over the town.
