14-May-08 Bournemouth Attractions

While London has the London Eye ferris wheel to see the sights, Bournemouth has the Bournemouth Eye, which is a hot air balloon raised in the sky for a viewing attraction. This is within the town city centre, in the middle of the central park leading down to the seafront.

Bournemouth also has the BIC (Bournemouth International Centre), hosting various musical and dramatic events. Upcoming performers include Avril Lavigne and Jay-Z, amazingly enough.

There are a couple of summer festivals on the pier and several sights to see, but the main focal point in the area remains the beaches. To read the comments on the Daily Echo web-site (www.bournemouthecho.co.uk), there are a lot of complaints about the lack of things to do in the area other than the beaches, and just don't understand why people would want to come here just for that.

It would be amazing to spend holidays at Bournemouth holiday cottages and see those wonderful attractions.
