Bournemouth

Bournemouth is a seaside resort town on England's southern coast. It is located in east of the 155 km Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site. The city had a population of 183,491 at the 2011 census, making it the largest in Dorset's administrative county. When Lewis Tregonwell built it in 1810, it was a deserted heathland often used by fishermen and smugglers. The town received a boost when it was first marketed as a health resort when it appeared in Augustus Granville's book of 1841, The Spas of England. With the arrival of the railway, Bournemouth's growth increased, and it became a town in 1870.
