WESTBOURNE, DORSET, UK - Is This Bournemouth's Best Kept Secret!?

Hi, join us as we explore Westbourne in Bournemouth, Dorset, an "urban village" sitting about one mile west of Bournemouth town centre with lots of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and plenty of history to discover. We start our walk in the centre of Westbourne, exploring the shops and taking a look inside the beautiful, Gothic-style Victorian shopping Arcade, which dates back to the 1880s. From Westbourne, we continue our walk towards the coast through Alum Chine, one of Bournemouth's picturesque wooded chines leading down towards the beach. Along the way, we check out a piece of local history at Skerryvore, the former site of Treasure Island and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde author Robert Louis Stevenson's home. We love exploring the places right on our doorstep and finding the little things you, and we, might otherwise walk straight past so if you're planning a trip to Westbourne, Bournemouth maybe even somewhere else in Dorset or, you simply enjoy UK travel, walking and local area vlogs, we hope this gives you lots of inspiration and a smile. Don't forget to like, subscribe and join us for more of our adventures around Dorset, the UK and further afield!
