Southbourne, Dorset
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Southbourne is a suburb of Bournemouth. It is the most easterly part of the borough, between Boscombe and Christchurch, Dorset.
Strictly, the name refers to the area near to the coast; areas further inland are West Southbourne, Tuckton and Wick.
The focal point of the community is Southbourne Crossroads. At this crossroads are a public house, a café and a two newsagents. For activity in the local area, Seafield Gardens offers bowls, tennis and a water-tower. One tourist feature of Southbourne is the Cliff railway between the clifftop coastal road and the promenade and beach. This provides very easy access to Southbourne's Blue Flag beach, from which it is possible to reach the beaches at Boscombe and Bournemouth.
The easternmost part of the coast is called Hengistbury Head.
