Bournemouth is a city in England, in the county of Dorset. Popular among the British as a wonderful resort on the English Channel, neighboring the town of Poole to the west.

The administrative center of the unitary unit of Bournemouth.

The history of the resort in Bournemouth began in 1810, when the Dorset landowner Tregonwell began to build a summer house here and was the first to appreciate the local beaches and picturesque ravines. After 30 years, there were already 26 settlements in these lands. In 1870 the railway came to Bournemouth, bringing thousands of Londoners here every summer. The city has become especially popular among retirees.

Bournemouth's many public buildings often host conferences and congresses. Bournemouth University was founded in 1992. Stretching 11km along the south Dorset coast, Bournemouth is one of the UK's largest holiday resorts. First of all, it is famous for its long promenade and wide sandy beaches.

Bournemouth is perfect not only for relaxation, but also for learning English. Clean sandy beaches, mild climate and warm sea - every year more and more attract students to study English here. Most of the city's income comes from education. The majority of Bournemouth's population are students from all over the world. We can say that Bournemouth is a small international city.

When the question arose about where to learn English, I had no doubts - it should be learned only in England, the homeland of Shakespeare, so I immediately began monitoring websites and studying schools offering English language training. Bormnut turned out to be the most affordable in terms of price and living conditions, and having received a visa, I set off to conquer the English language in Foggy Albion.

Bournemouth is a small provincial town in the south of England, where all life breathes peace and tranquility.

The city is located in the county of Dorset, on the seashore, the English Channel, the population is about 165 thousand people, the majority of the population is elderly ladies and gentlemen.

Bournemouth is considered a resort town: compared to other English climates, the weather here is excellent (although, of course, it took me a long time to get used to the fact that in the morning in Bournemouth there is bright sun, heavy rain pours in the afternoon, and a chilly wind blows in the evening, but in comparison With the London climate, it is, of course, heavenly warmth here), and that is why many Englishmen come here from other cities to warm their bones in the sun and breathe in the fresh sea air.


In the city itself there are many parks, squares, the beach is wide and clean, the sea is relatively warm in summer, up to 23 degrees (many people bravely swim even at a temperature of 15 degrees), there is an embankment, the ancient buildings in Bournemouth are completely beautiful and majestic, there are many residential apartments, The town is clean and cozy.


Various entertainment events, concerts, and exhibitions are often held here. In August, for example, there was an Air-Festifal, with aircraft from the Royal Air Force and the Navy on display.

There are a lot of visiting young people in the city, because there are more than a dozen international schools for studying English. Here you can meet students from all over the world, starting from and ending in Dubai. There are few Russians among the students, which was a plus for me. However, Russian speech is often heard here, because there are Russians in Bournemouth itself, plus often many Russians come from London to relax for the weekend.

How to get there

There are many ways to get to Bournemouth. There are buses and trains from London, you can take a taxi, or rent a car.

By plane

It is not possible to get to Bournemouth by plane from Russian cities. The city has an airport, about a 10-minute drive from the city, but there are only international flights: you can fly to Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Norway, etc. A full list of countries to which planes fly from Bournemouth is given on the official website of the airport.

So if you decide to get to Bournemouth by plane, then such a possibility is excluded here; alternatively, you can fly from Russia to London/Glasgow/another English city, and get there from there.

Getting to London from Moscow and St. Petersburg is very easy: there are direct flights from Aeroflot. In addition, English airlines offer comfortable flights for an affordable price (approximately 280 EUR). You can find out more about how to get to London.

By train

You can get from London to Bournemouth by train; the travel time compared to the bus is almost the same - 2 hours or 2.30. The cost will be more expensive, about 58.7 EUR, but if you book early, you can find tickets much cheaper.

It’s convenient that the bus station and the railway station are located on the same square, so when you get off the bus/train, you can take a taxi to the address you need or take the appropriate bus (almost all local bus routes run past the station). Just keep in mind that there are two railway stations in Bournemouth, one - which is located next to the bus station - is the central one, trains from London come here, and there is another one - in Pokesdown (this is in the east of Bournemouth).

The train ride promises to be comfortable, the trains run quietly, without the usual Russian noises, the carriages are comfortable and convenient.

From the station you can get to the city center:

  • by bus - price about 4 EUR; They're coming 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b to the Bournemouth Square stop - this is the center!
  • by taxi - a little more expensive, approximately 7 EUR; Taxis stand near the entrance to the station, buses stop opposite.

By bus

Wonderful National Express buses run from London to Bournemouth; for example, I used them to get to Bournemouth. The journey takes about 3 hours; you can take the bus both at the airport itself and in the city, at the central bus station. The cost varies depending on where you start from, and is around 35 EUR. I was traveling from Heathrow, and my one-way ticket cost 39.2 EUR. Not cheap, let's say.


By the way, tickets can be purchased both at the box office and in special terminals, which is very convenient.

How to get from the bus station to the city center

Once you arrive in Bournemouth, there are two ways to get to the city center: either by regular bus or by taxi. Taxis are parked in a row opposite the bus station, near the entrance to the railway station, payment is made by meter. Buses 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b go to the Bournemouth Square stop, this is the very center of the city, ticket price is about 2.35 EUR, the ride takes 5-7 minutes.

By car

Wikipedia writes that if you want to attend some significant event, it is better to come to Bournemouth very early or even in the evening. Otherwise, you can sit in a traffic jam on the A31 highway for an indefinite amount of time. I absolutely agree, traffic jams on the highway are crazy, so if you choose a car, be careful.

If you get from London to Bournemouth by car, the journey will take about 2 hours (assuming there are no traffic jams), the distance between the cities is 150 km, the average cost of renting a car is 35 EUR.

You need to go something like this :)


By ferry

Near Bournemouth (8 km) in a town called Poole there is a port from where ferries run to other cities, so if you are traveling from the islands of Guernsey and Jersey, as well as the western channel ports and Cherbourg, you can choose a ferry transport and get to Bournemouth high-speed ferry, you can find out the cost of tickets, as well as the schedule. Depending on the route, the cost varies from 60 to 150 EUR.


The range of prices depending on the season is not too wide; for certain types of services, for example, training, it is cheaper to go in winter (schools reduce prices by 10-20 percent), but for other items (things, products, etc.) the cost remains almost unchanged

Bournemouth in winter

In winter, Bormnut on New Year's Eve is very beautiful, all glows and shimmers, decorated with garlands and animation, Christmas music plays in the square, and you can feel the approaching holidays in the air.

An ice skating rink is being built in the park near the embankment.

After the holidays, life mostly comes to a standstill; the only entertainment left is the skating rink, cinema, trips to other cities (for example, to)

The average temperature in Bormmouth in winter is about 0-5 degrees, quite acceptable for quick walks from the bus stop to home :)

Districts. Where is the best place to live?

According to the map kindly provided to us by the English School, Bournemouth includes the following areas:

  • The central part is called Bournmouth town center
  • Other areas - Kinson, Poole, Christchurch, etc.

As you can see from the map, the main part of the hotels is concentrated in the center - Bournmouth town center. The remaining areas are, for the most part, residential areas. Of course, it also has its own infrastructure, but on weekends, as a rule, everything freezes and there is absolutely nothing to do here. What is not highlighted in circles is also residential areas :)

If you look at Bournemouth from above, you will notice that it is a city of low-rise buildings, most of the houses are small two-story houses in a typical English style. There are practically no external fences near houses, as in Russia, in England, but there are small courtyards, nice and cozy.

They also don’t have vegetable gardens; in the courtyard, as a rule, there is a garden, and lawn grass or some other unpretentious flower grows in the garden.


By the way, black raspberries grow in England; their taste is not very different from the red raspberries we are used to.


In the central part of the city there are high-rise buildings; if you wish, you can rent a room or apartment. If we briefly describe the apartment that is offered for rent, it looks something like this: a small entrance hall, from which there is a long corridor, on the sides there are rooms with an area of ​​approximately 10-15 sq.m., there is one spacious common kitchen, a separate bathroom and a separate toilet. You can rent one room or an apartment. Most visitors prefer to rent rooms, it is convenient and profitable.

The only thing you need to consider when renting an apartment is that renting an apartment in England is not so easy; as a rule, landlords ask for a bunch of documents confirming your solvency, as well as documents confirming the legality of your stay in the country.

When choosing a place to stay in Bournemouth, give preference to the central area. In terms of price, the districts are practically the same, but when it comes to choice, the center, of course, wins. All the main shops are concentrated in the center, the square hosts performances of various groups, etc., on the embankment (which is also nearby) there is always some kind of activity going on: either guys are frolicking on jet skis, or festivals of various kinds are held.

On my own behalf, I can add that I lived in the Winton area, it is a residential area, it is located 15 minutes by bus or half an hour walk from the city center. The area is a typical low-rise building; on weekends everyone stays at home or goes to the beach. Almost all the shops are closed, cafes operate through one, the area is practically dying out, there is no one on the streets. It can be boring, so choose the center.

All areas, except the center, are residential areas, of course, with their own infrastructure, but the main life is concentrated in Bournmouth town center, so I think there is no point in describing each area specifically. The city is small, provincial, all activities take place in the center!

Main attractions. What to see

Sea

Since the city is located on the English Channel, the main attraction of the city, of course, is the sea itself, and with it all the other entertainment.

The embankment in Bournemouth is long, it stretches almost along the entire coastline. Small buses run here from one end of the embankment to the other. Multi-colored beach houses are scattered around the perimeter - also considered to some extent one of the city's attractions. In such houses, local ladies and gentlemen store (no, not potatoes) sun loungers, towels, dishes, etc. - everything they need for a pleasant pastime.


Oceanarium

On the embankment near the central pier there is an oceanarium: it is small but cozy.

There are penguins :)

Parks

The next attraction of Bournemouth is the parks: the city has more than 2,000 acres of gardens and parks in which you can walk all year round.

This is the central part of Bournemouth.

Near the embankment.

There are museums in the city, I visited the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum, more on that below.

Football

When talking about Bournemouth, you must definitely mention one of the symbols of this city - the football team. Personally, I was not able to attend the match of this team, but according to many, the game of this team is impressive; the games are held at a stadium called Dean Court. It is definitely recommended to watch the game! Tickets and match schedules can be found here.

Museums. Which ones are worth visiting?

There are few museums in Bournemouth; I personally only came across the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum; when I was there, admission was free, but now admission costs about 7 EUR.

The museum operates on the following schedule: Tuesday-Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm, closed on Monday, and also closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day (December 26).

The museum is quite authentic, having previously been the home of two Victorian collectors and travel enthusiasts, Sir Merton and Lady Annie Russell-Cotes. Inside there is a classic English atmosphere, beautiful interiors, luxurious sculptures, furniture, paintings, everything that is pre-English and royal.

What to see in 1 day

So, if you are lucky and have the opportunity to see the city in one day, then the route can be built around the central part of the city:

  • take a bus or taxi to the city center, stop Bournemouth Square, from there you go towards the sea, through a beautiful park, in the park you can take some authentic photos, feed the squirrels and take something to eat with you to the beach.
  • You can lie on the beach (weather permitting) and take a dip in the sea. If the weather is bad or not at all in season, visit the aquarium, look at the beautiful fish and admire the cute little penguins.
  • There is a cinema near the embankment, you can go and watch some of the latest movies. If cinema doesn't suit you, you can drive to the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum and wander around there.
  • After a movie or a museum, in a good mood, you can walk along the central street and buy something for your soul. More details about shopping are written below: section “what to buy”;
  • You can end a pleasant, idle day in an English pub; there are plenty of them in the central part of the city. Just don’t forget your passport, otherwise they might not let you in.

What to see in the area

If time permits, a trip out of town would be ideal; there are plenty of interesting places to visit outside of Bournemouth. You can take a separate tour or get there by bus yourself. It’s better to take a tour, it’s cheaper, and there’s no need to worry about the return trip. List of must see in the UK, located near Bournummouth:

  1. Stonehenge– distance about 50 km. I think everyone knows what Stonehenge is, an incomprehensible large structure made of huge stones that arose incomprehensibly how and incomprehensibly from where.
  2. Bath is a city located 80 km from Bournemouth, famous for its healing springs, known back in ancient Rome. The city has many beautiful architectural structures and an amazing atmosphere. There is a combined excursion that includes a visit to Stonehenge and the city, the cost is about 40 GBP, you can see Bath and Stonehenge in one day, very convenient.
  3. Near Bormmouth there is another beautiful historical site, the Jurassic Coast. The Jurassic Coast is located 30 km from the city and is a steep coastline more than 150 km long. The place is unique and is under the auspices of UNESCO. There are also joint tours there, and there are also boat trips in this direction.
  4. . To be in Bournemouth and not visit is simply a crime. There are countless amazing places in this city alone: ​​Big Ben, the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Madame Tussauds, the Dali Universe Museum, the Dickens, Sherlock Holmes, Freud, British Museum, etc. Don't forget to drop by the King's Cross metro station, where the train station from where Harry Potter left for Hogwarts is located. You can get to London by regular bus, the journey takes about 2.5 hours.

Clubs and nightlife

There are plenty of bars and nightclubs to visit in Bormouth - there are more than a hundred of them in total. Almost at the entrance to every club or bar there is security who requires a passport or ID; without documents you will not be allowed in. In some places, the passport is scanned, so it is impossible to enter without identification documents. If you are under 18 years old, you will also not be able to enter pubs/bars/clubs.
The cost of entry to the club is about 5.75 EUR, if you have outerwear (a jacket or a jacket that you want to put in the wardrobe), prepare another 3.45 EUR.
The music in clubs is mostly pop - what is heard on the world pop charts. It varies in bars; Sometimes local DJs play some good stuff.

The main clubs and bars are concentrated in the central part of the city, the most famous are Halo (nice Englishmen opened a nightclub in a former church building), Cameo, Inferno, Sound Circus. As for bars and pubs, they are located throughout the city. The main core, of course, is concentrated in the center, but there are also good establishments on the periphery. Students from our school gathered on weekends in a nice place called "The brunswick pub", it is located in the Winton area (199 Malmesbury Park Road)

The hot spot is the So bar (free entry), as well as the loft-bar Canvas.



Most clubs are open until 5 am, bars close a little earlier - around 3 am. Due to the fact that there are a lot of young people, the clubs are open every day, and in the summer, during the high season, there are always enough people.

By the way, there are a lot of gay people in Bournemouth, so meeting a transsexual in a club is a common occurrence; the British love to dress in women’s clothing and walk around the streets and bars like that. So don’t be too scared if you meet a group of 10 tall adult men in women’s dresses and stockings; in England this is normal (although it may shock some). Moreover, you can meet painted men not only in the evening, but also during the day; I was somehow lucky and I met a transvestite in a store when I was buying milk and bread);

If you want to specifically look at trannies, then in Bournemouth you can visit Rubyz Shows, they have parties almost every evening (subject to prior reservation), the price of a ticket with dinner is 45.95 EUR, just a show is 25.3 EUR. The show takes place at the New Westcliff Hotel.

Safety. What to watch out for

Bormnut itself is a safe city, police officers cruise the streets, carefully keeping an eye on order on the streets; The population is quiet, peaceful, not quarrelsome.

My friends and I returned on foot from the club a couple of times at night; nothing threatened our safety. The most that can scare you is the foxes that periodically cross the road. And there is peace and quiet in the city.

Things to do

There is always something to do in Bournemouth if you wish. Since the city is located on the seashore, surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing are very popular here, so if you want to learn how to ride the wave, there are many schools in the city that teach these sports. Prices, as elsewhere in England, are not cheap; the estimated price for one individual lesson is about 58.7 EUR.


Of the free entertainment, this is, of course, a beach holiday. During the day, if the weather is good, you can go to the beach and swim; in the evening, musical groups perform concerts on the same embankment on weekends.

In addition, on the beach itself there is a lot of all kinds of entertainment for children and adults; on the central pier there is a bungee jump over the water; on the coastline there are other attractions - all kinds of trampolines, carousels, slides, etc.
There is an oceanarium on the embankment, which displays all kinds of marine life. It is not very big, but cozy.

In addition to the seafront, Bournemouth has many beautiful parks and gardens that are very pleasant to stroll through.

The city also has a network of cinemas where you can watch the latest films, some of the world premieres are released earlier than in Russia, there will be something to tell your friends about :) The cost of viewing is about 11.7 EUR, the price, as a rule, includes popcorn and cola.

In Bormmouth, they take a thorough approach to organizing entertainment for the local and visiting population, so various kinds of events take place here almost weekly, be it exhibitions or shows. On the city’s official website you can find out what is planned in the coming days and plan a cultural holiday in advance. You can look at the website.

Souvenirs. What to bring as a gift

In the central part of the city there are several shops with souvenirs, offering both traditional English souvenirs in the form of double-decker buses, Teddy bears, London Towers and Tower Bridges, as well as local cute souvenirs - magnets, stones, beer openers - all with the symbols of Bournemouth.
Be sure to take some English tea with you for yourself and your friends; it’s not for nothing that England is famous for its tea; it is truly very tasty. In addition, some tasty treats you can take with you include cookies, chocolate, cheese and alcohol :)

How to get around the city

Buses

Bournemouth has an excellent bus service, and in the best English traditions there are double-decker buses, the so-called double deckers. There are also ordinary, one-story ones, but I, and most students, preferred to ride a two-story transport, and specifically on the second floor. The one-way fare is about 2.35 EUR; if you go there and back (return ticket), the ticket price is reduced by 30%. Tickets can be purchased from the bus driver at the entrance. If you purchase a return ticket, you must present it on the way back and it will be composted.

View from the second floor of the bus to the neighboring double-decker bus :)


You can buy a travel pass, it will be even cheaper. As a student, I purchased a travel pass at school: they give you a card indicating the number of trips, and when you enter the bus they “beep” it.
Of particular interest is the organization of the buses themselves: firstly, their height is level with the road, so carrying large things is not a problem. Secondly, immediately upon entering the bus there is a wide pocket for storing large cargo, where you can place your belongings. From this point of view, the bus is comfortable for large families with small children, or for people with disabilities in wheelchairs. In general, he is very jealous of the quality of life for people, and in many positions one can see concern for people and their comfort.

In addition, some bus stops have an electronic display that shows the arrival time of the next bus. As a rule, on weekdays, buses run frequently, every 10-15 minutes, and on weekends and evenings the interval between bus arrivals is 20 minutes or more. Be careful, you can sit for an hour if it’s late and the day falls on a weekend. At the stop, in addition to the electronic board, there is a schedule in paper form, you can take a photo of it and next time you can navigate the time in advance.

Bicycles

Many local residents love an environmentally friendly form of transport - bicycles; there are separate bicycle paths on the roads for them, and there are rental points. The cost, depending on the rental time, is about 5 pounds or more, a bicycle can be rented for an hour (and ride, for example, along the embankment to the neighboring town of Poole and back - 8 km), or rented for a day to travel around the entire city.

On foot

You can also get around the city on foot, the streets themselves are wide and clean, there are trees and paths for pedestrians and cyclists on both sides of the road. If you have an application installed on your phone, like Google Maps, then there are no problems with movement at all. Personally, when walking through unfamiliar places and trying to find the desired object, I only use my phone to save myself, rely on the online map and move according to the set route. Well, as a last resort, you can always ask for directions.

In Bormmouth, by the way, there are surprisingly many places for leisurely walks, these are gardens, parks, the embankment, and even the streets themselves with typically English houses - everything here is conducive to leisurely walking. Just dress warmly before your walk; in the evening it can get very cool in Bormmouth.

And in this city, as, probably, in all of England, a certain mysterious atmosphere is felt; it is not for nothing that mystical works like Sherlock Holmes or Harry Potter were born in English lands. It seems that the air itself breathes mystery and history here.

Taxi. What features exist

In addition to the bus service, taxis run around the city, the price is fixed according to the meter, boarding from 3.5 EUR, at night the payment is a little more expensive. Taxi drivers are very polite; you are encouraged to leave a tip when getting out of the car. Taxis in England are not necessarily yellow, the main thing is that they have a sticker and a checkerboard on top. In Bournemouth, if you're lucky, you can catch a classic English taxi - a black London cab, also one of the attractions of England. In fact, nothing special: a car is just a car.

Bournemouth: holidays with children

In my opinion, Bormnut is perfect for families with children; everything is provided here for a comfortable stay for mother and child. The transport infrastructure is developed, shops have separate toilets, and restaurants have a children's menu. The climate is acceptable, there is a sea, a beach, an aquarium, and a huge number of entertainment attractions on the embankment. There are many family-friendly places to visit, including farms, theme gardens, children's art centers, and more. In the city itself there are many beautiful parks where you can have a picnic (which is what most English families do), many bike rental points and rollerblade rentals, and stadiums. Overall, there's plenty to keep kids ages 2 and up busy.

Food. What to try

A classic English dish sold in all cafes and restaurants is fish & chips.


Fish and potatoes. Regular fried fish in greasy batter with regular greasy French fries - 1000 calories in one dish. The British simply adore this dish, and they also wash down this gastronomic outrage with a bottle of beer or ale. Let’s just say that the taste is not for everyone, because the food is really heavy, but it’s worth a try, for the purpose of, so to speak, contact with English culture.

In addition to the traditional chips and fish, you can also find dishes from other cuisines in Bournemouth. The city has Italian restaurants, sushi bars, pizzerias, McDonald's, KFS, Subway, etc., it will be difficult to die of hunger. If you get tired of fast food and restaurant food, then you can buy food and cook it yourself; in supermarkets there is a huge selection of tasty, and most importantly, high-quality food, and it already comes packaged, cut and stacked, all you have to do is take it out and put it in the microwave or oven .
Since I lived with a family and had to eat dinner on my own, I often bought ready-made sets and cooked for myself. The food in England is very tasty, everything is fresh and of high quality.

Shopping

In the central part of Bournemouth, next to the embankment, there is a whole street with shops. The stores are presented in different price categories, there are brands such as Zara, H&M, Marks&Spenser, Monsoon, etc., there are local shops with souvenirs, household supplies, mugs, spoons, ladles, etc.

I would also like to dwell on Primark: a chain of European stores that offers a huge selection of everything. There are women's collections, items for sale for all occasions; men's collections, with also a good selection, there are separate collections of home clothes, underwear, socks, stockings, tights, etc. are presented. There are separate clothes for sports, for walking, for sleeping, etc.

In addition, in the same store you can choose your own shoes; there are whole rows with shoes, boots, ankle boots, sneakers, sneakers, etc.

The store also offers all kinds of household utensils, frames, candles, figurines, other decorative items, the cutest bedspreads, towels, and blankets.


Just look at those eyes :)

In general, if you go to Primark, you can start with socks and end up with a full set of ammunition for the whole family: there is a very large selection, it’s amazing, and the price is quite affordable. It's a pity that the store is not represented in Russia.

Regarding things: in different price categories there are things of different quality, there are both very high quality and average. But I can note that there is no such overt Chinese consumer goods in England; after all, the things for the most part are of good quality and branded.

We should also dwell on the British love for postcards, they have entire shops with postcards, offering postcards for all occasions: for the birth of a child, for a wedding, for the birthday of an aunt, uncle, for a sister’s wedding, for the wedding of a sister’s uncle, and so on. The choice is huge, and everything is so cute and touching, in addition, there are separate sets like “Create a postcard yourself”, the British love this kind of hand-made.


For hand-mand lovers – a “Do It Yourself” kit

The stores also have a lot of household utensils, and they are very cute, and I was generally delighted with the decorative items.


In general, Bournemouth is such a nice provincial English town, very cozy and atmospheric, with its own culture and traditions; I stayed in it for a little over a month and this time was enough to understand the city and feel its spirit. It is optimal for a quiet stay and a comfortable holiday, and it is not for nothing that it is a favorite holiday destination for the British..

City of Bournemouth

Bournemouth is an English city located on the coast of Dorset. Famous for its wide sandy beaches and long embankments. Although the history of the city is not as long and rich as, for example, the history of London or Manchester, it has already established itself as a popular world resort, as well as the center of the country's cultural life.

A little history

The cream of society of the Victorian era came to enjoy the healing Bournemouth air with “notes” of pine, members of the royal families hurried to swim in the purest sea water, which remained warm almost at any time of the year.

Surrounded by greenery, Bournemouth was also the venue for various congresses and conferences. Thanks to the constant visits of tourists, hotels, cafes, “art deco” cinemas and various art centers are opening everywhere in the city. At the end of the 20th century, namely in 1992, the city university was founded. Today, Bournemouth University, occupying more than 11 kilometers of the Dorset coast, is rightfully considered not only one of the largest educational institutions in England, but also a leader in the level of education received. That is why the number of foreign applicants increases every year in arithmetic progression.

Bourntmouth attractions

Only the best - Bournemouth!

Bournemouth is a thriving university town on the south coast of England, on the English Channel, an ideal place for study and holiday. The city is in the county of Dorset, the name of the city is translated as the mouth of the Bourne River. The population is 165 thousand people.

Over 70% of our students choose to study English in Bournemouth!

The city has a large number of language schools and two universities. Thousands of students and professionals come to study various disciplines, including English as a foreign language and get language practice.

A huge plus for students studying in Bournemouth is the purest English pronunciation!

For children, schoolchildren and adults studying English in language schools in England, it is really important to find a comfortable town where students can concentrate on learning and where the purest English is preserved. We also recommend this city to our students because you can book English courses in Bournemouth inexpensive compared to London, for example.

Only we have exclusive tuition fees in Bournemouth, cheaper than in the language schools themselves!
High-quality organization of English courses in Bournemouth, without agent commissions!

Bournemouth's most famous attraction is the beach. Imagine: seven miles of golden sand, pristine water, water sports areas and no-smoking, no-dog areas. That is why Bournemouth beach received a special Blue Flag award.



The Dorset coast was recently awarded World Heritage status, ranking it alongside the Great Barrier Reef and the Grand Canyon.

The city is simply surrounded by magnificent parks and gardens. I would especially like to mention the Pleasure Gardens park, which received an award for the cleanest territory.




Students can shop in modern shops on Commercial Road and Old Christchurch Road, and spend their free time in cinemas, theaters, cafes, pubs, clubs and discos.



Grocery stores such as ASDA, TESCO, LIDL, etc. are open 7 days a week from early morning until late evening!





Students have the opportunity to become familiar with the literary history of the region. Here on the Boscombe Estate, on Beechwood Avenue, is Shelley's apartment, which contains memorabilia relating to the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. And in the Church of St. Peter, located in the center of the city, his wife Mary Shelley, the author of the famous Frankenstein, is buried.

No less interesting for students and schoolchildren studying are the Art Gallery and Museum on Russell Cote Road. Much of the art collection was collected by the museum's founder, Russell-Cote, during his travels.

The huge library is located in the very center of the city and is open 6 days a week. You can choose absolutely any literature that interests you to read at home or study in the reading room. Undoubtedly this is another plus for children and adults passing through studying in Bournemouth in English courses.

A huge achievement for the entire city of Bournemouth was the emergence of the A.F.C. football team. Bournemouth into the Premier League of the English Football Championship at the end of the 2014/2015 season. The unofficial name of the club is “Cherry” or in English “The Cherries”. It is worth noting that the Bournemouth football team is confidently in the middle of the 2016/2017 English Football Championship standings, often giving battle to the favorites - the top teams of the English Premier League. We also note the fact that our students most likely will not be able to purchase tickets to the stadium during their stay and study in Bournemouth. The capacity of the stadium in Bournemouth is small; tickets are purchased in advance, sometimes with season tickets for the entire season. There are plenty of people who want to watch their favorite team play in Bournemouth, and there are approximately 2 times more than the number of seats in the stands of the stadium.

Upon arrival in Bournemouth at the bus station, students are usually met by our representative or the family where accommodation is booked or the student travels independently by taxi around the city. Yellow Taxi is located very close to the bus stop and ASDA hypermarket. We also draw the attention of students coming to Bournemouth to study English at language schools that the city has many sports clubs, swimming pools, tennis courts, and even an indoor ice rink - in other words, all the conditions have been created for comfortable learning and useful leisure time after studying.

The local beaches, heathlands and picturesque ravines were the first to be appreciated by the Dorset landowner Tregonwell, who began building a summer house here in 1810. After 30 years, the seaside settlement already consisted of 26 farms. In 1870, the railway came to Bournemouth, bringing thousands of Londoners here every summer. The city has become especially popular among retirees. In particular, Tolkien died here.

Bournemouth's many public buildings often host conferences and congresses. Bournemouth University was founded in 1992. There is an airport.

Excerpt describing Bournemouth

- After Austerlitz! - Prince Andrey said gloomily. - No; I humbly thank you, I promised myself that I would not serve in the active Russian army. And I wouldn’t, if Bonaparte had stood here, near Smolensk, threatening the Bald Mountains, and then I wouldn’t have served in the Russian army. Well, that’s what I told you,” Prince Andrei continued, calming down. - Now the militia, father is the commander-in-chief of the 3rd district, and the only way for me to get rid of service is to be with him.
- So you are serving?
- I serve. – He was silent for a moment.
- So why do you serve?
- But why? My father is one of the most remarkable people of his century. But he is getting old, and he is not only cruel, but he is too active. He is terrible for his habit of unlimited power, and now this power given by the Sovereign to the commander-in-chief over the militia. If I had been two hours late two weeks ago, he would have hanged the protocol officer in Yukhnov,” said Prince Andrei with a smile; - this is how I serve because no one except me has influence on my father, and in some places I will save him from an act from which he would suffer later.
- Oh, well, you see!
“Yes, mais ce n"est pas comme vous l"entendez, [but this is not the way you understand it],” continued Prince Andrei. “I did not and do not wish the slightest good to this bastard protocol officer who stole some boots from the militia; I would even be very pleased to see him hanged, but I feel sorry for my father, that is, again for myself.
Prince Andrei became more and more animated. His eyes sparkled feverishly as he tried to prove to Pierre that his actions never contained a desire for good to his neighbor.
“Well, you want to free the peasants,” he continued. - This is very good; but not for you (you, I think, did not detect anyone and did not send them to Siberia), and even less for the peasants. If they are beaten, flogged, sent to Siberia, then I think that it is no worse for them. In Siberia he leads the same bestial life, and the scars on his body will heal, and he is as happy as he was before. And this is needed for those people who are perishing morally, making repentance for themselves, suppressing this repentance and becoming rude because they have the opportunity to execute right or wrong. This is who I feel sorry for, and for whom I would like to free the peasants. You may not have seen it, but I have seen how good people, brought up in these traditions of unlimited power, over the years, when they become more irritable, become cruel, rude, know it, cannot resist and become more and more unhappy. “Prince Andrei said this with such enthusiasm that Pierre involuntarily thought that these thoughts were suggested to Andrei by his father. He didn't answer him.
