Moving to Bournemouth?

In many ways the epitome of English gentility, Bournemouth is such an established seaside town that people assume it has been there forever. In fact, up until the sixteenth century it was remote and barren, visited only by fishermen and smugglers. During the Tudor period it was used as a hunting estate but by the late eighteenth century most of the land had fallen into disrepair. The construction of the Tapps Arms public house on the heath in 1809 was the turning point. Lewis Tregonwell, a retired army officer, bought some land on the heath and moved there with his wife in 1812. He began to develop it for holiday letting, building a collection of sea villas and planted hundreds of pine trees, creating a sheltered walk to the beach.

The town grew up steadily around these scattered pines, but it did not really bloom as a tourist destination until the celebrated physician Dr Augustus Granville visited in 1841. He was so impressed by its clean air and medicinal seawater that he dedicated a chapter to it in his book The Spas of England; thereafter visitors flocked to the region. Fields were drained for the construction of the Pleasure Gardens in the 1840s. The Winter Garden followed in 1875 and the pier was finished in 1880. it was the advent of the railway, however, that really sealed the town’s fate. From 17,000 in 1880, the population rose to 60,000 by 1900 with huge numbers of visitors each year. It also became a favourite haunt of writers and artists including J. R. R. Tolkien, Mary Shelley and Oscar Wilde, and is referred to in books by Thomas Hardy, Douglas Adams and James Herbert. Despite the downturn in the fortunes of British seaside resorts since the Second World War, Bournemouth has remained buoyant. Its population may be older now than in its heyday, and it may be better known for hosting party conferences than for its nightlife, but it thrives nonetheless.

Situated on the southern coast, Bournemouth has a temperate climate with low rainfall by English standards: annual temperatures range from around 2°C to 22°C. This is perfect for enjoying the stunning sands: the town is very proud of its golden beaches, which are lined with huts in primary colours and offer a range of water sports including kite surfing, power boating, paddle boarding and surfing. The Lower Gardens are wonderful to stroll in: in summer there are open air concerts and the famous Open Air Art Exhibition. In Alum Chine, by the sea, there are award winning tropical gardens, while the Italianate gardens at Boscombe are a well kept secret that’s well worth discovering. And don’t miss the famous cast iron pier, the perfect place to enjoy sunset.

The quirky Russell-Cotes Museum is a must-see: with glorious Art Nouveau interiors designed by John and Oliver Thomas, it contains the collected spoils of Sir Merton Russell-Cotes’ travels around the world, including wonderful Japanese paintings, sculptures and kimono. St Peters Church, finished in 1879, has glorious stained glass, unusual paintings and exquisite alabaster reliefs. It is also home to the graves of Mary Shelley and her husband Percy Bysse Shelley. Events in Bournemouth include the Air Show every August, the annual Literary Festival and Bourne Free, one of the south coast’s most vibrant Gay Pride festival.
