Ideas & Inspiration
Make the most of your week
Plans for the days you are actually here: one for the first morning, one for when it rains, one for the week you decided not to hire a car.
Itineraries
Plans you can just follow
Hand-built day plans by the kind of stay you are having. Follow one end to end, or lift the two or three bits that suit you and ignore the rest.
A Week in Bournemouth Without a Car
Seven days from a central base using nothing but feet, buses and one train: including both towns at either end of the bay.
A Weekend Based in Boscombe
Friday evening to Sunday afternoon with Boscombe as the base rather than the destination: walkable, unhurried and mostly outdoors.

Plan by the shape of your stay
A long weekend, half term and a whole season are three different holidays. Start from the one you are on.
Short breaks
Enough to see the bay properly without sprinting between things.
Half term & summerSchool holidays
Family days that hold up whatever the sky decides to do.
A month or moreLong stays
Settling in rather than sightseeing: routines, laundry, a regular café.
A wedding partyWeddings
Clifftops, gardens and beach, and a guest list spread along a seven-mile bay.
