Westbourne is an urban village nestled between Bournemouth and Poole which is famous for the many independent businesses lining the streets. The Victorian shopping arcade makes a stunning centerpiece and connects the two main roads. This popular village makes for a lovely day out; mooch around the eclectic mix of gift shops, boutiques and charity shops or stop and watch the world go by in one of the many cafes and coffee shops.

By night, Westbourne is a laid back destination with a wide range of local pubs and restaurants serving everything from burgers to sushi and fine dining. Looking for somewhere lively to end the evening? Live music and DJs can be found in the local bars and pub.

There is even more to Westbourne’s charm, wander down through the stunning Alum Chine to find the Tropical Gardens filled with exotic botanicals and stunning views along the beaches. Head East towards Bournemouth or West to Sandbanks, taking in views of the Isle of Wight, Old Harry Rocks, Studland and Poole Harbour.

If you are looking for somewhere to stay, Westbourne is the perfect peaceful location with many B&Bs, hotels and guest houses tucked walking distance from the beaches and shops whilst just a stone’s throw from Bournemouth and Poole.
