Local Area Guides

Sun, sea, sand and study - what more could you ask for? Throw in a rich mix of green spaces to explore, retail therapy, activity and leisure pursuits, as well as plenty of entertainment and you have something to inspire you around every corner.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth has a long history as a coastal resort, but there's also a much more vibrant side to this seaside town. A hot-bed for wellbeing and wellness, digital and technology, and outdoor and leisure interests means this is the perfect place to live while you study.

Pokesdown and Boscombe

Great neighbourhoods full of character and charm. Bag a bargain at one of the vintage and antique shops, peruse the vibrant food markets, or attend live music, gigs and theatre at some of the best kept secret venues.

Southbourne

Southbourne is a thriving, cool neighbourhood, where you can experience independent shops and eateries, sip on the famous local beer, or wander to the clifftops and take in the idyllic vistas.

Christchurch

Christchurch is a beautiful town boasting a harbour, scenic riverside walks, and lots of history and heritage. There's nothing quite like a cosy, roaring fire in a traditional pub after a long walk.

@ElizaWallace27 @exerciseworks Agree a lovely Victorian style swing would be lovely in Boscombe Gardens, great for wellness and very much in keeping with the history when they used to be Pleasure Gardens. Great idea 👍

With all our lovely gardens and woodland walks down to the beach, sure there are lots of places that could be designated as senior play/exercise grounds in #Bournemouth. https://t.co/9joNwQn710
