Dorset Travel Forum

What are the various ages? 18 - 20 20 -30 35 - 45?

I finished reading "On Chesil Beach" last night, and find myself interested in this stretch of coast. Not that I'd want to go through the tragic experience of Florence and Edward - that wouldn't be an issue with my wife and me. But we'll be in Bath as a part of our little trip around England next month, so now a detour to the coast may be in order. Perhaps further west along the Jurassic Coast, to small places like Seaton.
Any thoughts about this area?
Anybody else get drawn to an area after reading a novel recently?

My flight is arriving around midnight.
Is there a coach station at Gatwick where I can take a bus to Bournemouth, or do I have to go to another station, like London Victoria, first? I'd rather not travel 90 mins to London only to head back south later.
Also, I looked at railway timetable - don't think they have a train until 7:15 a.m. But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks in advance.

How much it costs to get into for your eyes only nightclub and how much the drinks are in there please? I would be very grateful
Thanx

hi i am coming to Bournemouth this thursday would like to know if it is possible in one day without car to go to visit the isle of wight and to come back (and how); and how it is possible to go to Stonehenge?
thanks

I think I've trapped myself. I will arrive in the Bournemouth center between 0.00 and 1.00 am but my train leaves at about 5 a.m What can I do in the night there? Are any pubs/clubs opened till the morning or where can I stay over the night? I wouldn't rather go to a hotel for 4 hours.
Thanks.

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Me and a friend are visiting bournemouth this weekend, coming from the west midlands, so will arrive in the town centre late evening on friday on the A38 into the Town centre.

Who can advise on a decent B&B that is bang in the centre and wont require additional commuting once we are in the town?

Ive been looking at this page, which is B&B's in the town but as i dont know the area i can't tell which roads are where! lol

I hope you didn't mind me asking, but can you tell me what it is like to live in Weymouth? I am thinking of doing a council house exchange from Salisbury in Wiltshire to Weymouth and would like to know what area’s to avoid and go for. Many thanks.

I am thinking of moving here,is it true that there are used shringes left laying about on the beach?

Why is there nothing on this forum for West Lulworth/Lulworth Cove......... its a small piece of heaven in this mad world.

Hi there
Does anyone know of any agents that specialise in winter lets in the bournemouth area, for good quality fully fitted apartments, looking for a 6 month lease from September.

Many thanks, Karen

Hen Weekend in Bournemouth
Posted: Mon June 12 15:22:40 2006 UTC

I'm organising a hen weekend in bournemouth in a couple of weeks and the Hen really wants to go to a 70's night somewhere. Can anyone recommend me a good not too trashy nightclub that we could attend. Also we'd like to know of good venues to watch the football if there are any?? We are staying at the Carrington House Hotel if this is any help, though i think this may be quite a way out of Bournemouth?

Cheers for any help!

Hi ya,

Can someone advice the cheapest way to get to Bournemouth airport from Bournemouth Square/ Bournemouth Triangle.

If I want to be at the airport by 230pm, which bus timing should I get on?
And, when I return, it will be probably by 5pm on a Saturday. Do you think I will still be able to get a bus back to Bournemouth Sq/triangle?

Please please advice..

Cheers!

I'm going to be in Bournemouth 8-12 June for a seminar at the Chiropractic college. Just wondering what a nice pub might be. I'm 47 and very boring and don't like listening to music while I drink. I do like Belgian beers. Not wild about cig smoke either but I suppose I'll have to live with that.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Just wondering how many metal/rock bars/clubs there are in Bournemouth and if they're any good!

Any replies to rosesin_thehospital@hotmail.com

Cheers xxx

hey

whats the bournemouth nightlife like this time of year at the weekends?

is it still very busy in the town on friday and saturday nights?

regards

Hey all

ive just signed up today after stumbling across VT on google..

anyway it seems like a wicked site, so many people from whatever area i look under.

i currently live in the west midlands (coventry) but want to meet more friendly people, and enjoy a more laid back way of living to how it is here

ive heard several people say how different people down south are; 'friendly' 'chatty' etc

probably starting to sound quite naive now but what the heck..

is this true then? i want to visit some of the biggish towns down south like Bristol, Brighton and Plymouth

cheers

Chris
