Day 1 Travel to the hotel in Bournemouth.
Day 2 Travel through the New Forest, to the lovely Exbury Gardens, built and developed over more than 100 years. With its unique riverside location, visitors will be enthralled by the spectacular collection of landscaped woodland, herbaceous and formal gardens. Not to be missed is a ride on the narrow-gauge steam railway. This afternoon is to the romantic Highcliffe Castle. Learn the fascinating story of how this once lavish home was destroyed, left to ruin, and brought back to life.
Day 3 Spend today at leisure relaxing in the hotel and visiting the popular seaside town of Bournemouth. Take time to enjoy the 7 miles of splendid golden beaches or browse in the wide variety of shops in the town centre. For the more active, why not enjoy a pier to pier walk starting at Boscombe Pier and wandering along the promenade to Bournemouth Pier?
