Coach holidays with Alfa Travel

Bournemouth - City Coast & Country

Resort - Bournemouth

Overview

Bournemouth is superbly situated on the sunny South coast on top of spectacular cliffs which look down upon miles of golden sand. It is probably Britain's most international resort. Stroll through the splendid gardens or browse through the remarkable selection of shops. The town is full of flowers and there are beautifully manicured parks and gardens. The delightful "chines", small valleys in the cliffs, offer shady groves leading to the shore. The Lower Gardens and Central Gardens in particular provide a lush green contrast to the nearby beach. There are many outstanding attractions including museums, an art gallery, two piers and a wealth of evening entertainment ranging from classical music to top name summer shows.

Itinerary

Day 1 - Outward Travel

Day 2 - Full Day Lyndhurst & Southampton

  • Shaped over centuries by grazing ponies and cattle that roam free throughout the National Park, the New Forest is a unique landscape combining majestic woodlands, rare heathlands and a beautiful coastline. We call at Lyndhurst, often referred to as the ‘capital’ of the New Forest – and once visited by Kings and Queens since William the Conqueror established it as a royal hunting ground in 1079. We continue to the seafaring city of Southampton with free time to explore this maritime city. The Mayflower, the Queen Mary II and the Titanic all have a place in the city’s history, and the historic port continue to attract fishing fleets, sailing boats and mega cruise ships from across the world.

Day 3 - Full Day Swanage & Poole

  • We travel through the beautiful countryside of the Isle of Purbeck, beneath the ruins of Corfe Castle to reach the seaside town of Swanage. Renowned for its beautiful beaches, Swanage has a rich history and a variety of attractions and activities to enjoy. We also visit Poole – famous for its deep water harbour and historic waterfront. The large island that lies in the bay is Brownsea Island, the birthplace of scouting.

Day 4 - Day at Leisure

Day 5 - Day at Leisure

Day 6 - Full Day Salisbury

  • Discover the beautiful, medieval city of Salisbury – the city in the countryside. Welcoming visitors since 1227, at its heart is the magnificent Salisbury Cathedral, which boasts Britain’s tallest spire – a record it has held since 1561! A traditionally English city, the historic Charter Market takes place on Tuesdays and Saturdays plus you’ll find high street stores and charming local traders along the historic streets.

The elegant Norfolk Royale Hotel is centrally located just a few steps from Bournemouth Square and only a short stroll from award winning gardens and golden sand Blue Flag beaches. Offering a very high standard of accommodation, the Norfolk Royale Hotel is the perfect choice for seaside getaways and longer stays. Originally converted from two imposing Victorian Villas, and formerly the home of the Duke of Norfolk, the hotel has been restored to its Edwardian grandeur. Guests are able to enjoy the hotel's cosy lounge, bar or entertainment space with a dancefloor where you can dance the night away. The hotel features an indoor pool.
