Bournemouth is in the county of Dorset, and most people just think of Bournemouth as the “metropolitan” area of a collection of towns that run together. I use the term metropolitan lightly, as we’re talking about a collection of 500,000 people at the most.
Bournemouth includes the following towns: Westbourne (decent area), Branksome (upscale), Poole (recognized as its own city and is next to the 2nd largest natural harbor in the world), Christchurch (yes, there is a church in the centre of it), Southbourne (little older style, not yet upgraded), Boscombe (has good and bad parts), Pokesdown (area right next to Southbourne, lots of antique shops, although I’ve heard there used to be many more but they closed down), Canford Cliffs (very upscale, EXPENSIVE, mostly estate houses), and Sandbanks. Sandbanks will likely not exist if the sea levels keep rising due to global warming. It is a small peninsula that reaches out into the Poole Bay and English Channel and obviously it’s just above sea level. It is probably the most expensive real estate in all of the UK (or so I’m told), although I tend to think London is the top, but perhaps Sandbanks is next in line.
