We arrive in Bournemouth at 1115 hrs with free time to Victorian arcades, modern boutiques, unique gift shops, antique treasure troves and high street stores all rub shoulders on the streets of Bournemouth. When the time comes to recharge your batteries, you’ll have difficulty choosing between the mouth-watering array of global cuisine on offer in the town’s 250 restaurants and bistros.

In the afternoon we visit Compton Acres the private owned gardens which offer spectacular views of Poole Harbour, Brownsea Island and the Perbeck Hills and are rapidly becoming one of the most prestigious attractions on the south coast.
