Bournemouth isn't just the beach. It's also a town brimming with history, art, beauty, nature and fun. From Napoléon's wine cooler to an Egyptian mummy, a war-winning bridge to locally made gin, a mural celebrating its larger-than-life visitors to its connections with War and Peace - not forgetting afternoon tea on a bus - this town has it all, and is sure to surprise and delight all those who explore it.
