Itinerary
Bournemouth & the New Forest – Turkey & Tinsel
Let's get excited about Christmas! If you love the festive period as much as we do, then what better way to look forward to celebrating its arrival than a Christmas-themed break in Bournemouth? We are treated to a seasonal dinner menu, a fantastic bar offer and entertainment every night at our hotel! From our base in Bournemouth, we also get to explore neighbouring Poole with its nautical atmosphere and the timeless scenery of the New Forest. The perfect start to the yuletide season.
Bournemouth & the New Forest – Turkey & Tinsel
Itinerary
Day 1 - Arrival
After joining the coach, we make our way to our hotel and check in.
Day 2 - The New Forest (Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst & Lymington)
We explore the New Forest, England's smallest National Park, famous for its tranquil ambience and free-roaming ponies. We visit the Forest's capital of Lyndhurst, the pretty village of Brockenhurst and the coastal town and former smuggler's port of Lymington, with its cobbled streets and attractive quayside. Later we enjoy a traditional 'Christmas' dinner with all the trimmings back at the hotel.
Day 3 - Optional excursion to Dorchester Market & Weymouth (£14pp)
Join us on an optional half-day excursion which takes us first to the charming county town of Dorchester, where we have time to browse the stalls of its traditional market. We continue to wander down the memory lane of seaside resorts with a visit to Weymouth, crowned with a bustling harbour and fine Georgian seafront. The resort boasts a long sandy beach peppered with candy cane-stripe kiosks, plus fantastic views across the bay taking in the World Heritage Jurassic coastline. Anyone for a cone of cockles?
Day 4 - Poole
On our half-day excursion, we journey to Poole, a lively resort with a lovely quayside, stunning natural harbour and some of the finest beaches in England. It also boasts two Victorian parks, one of which, Poole Park, is a designated Conservation Area and a historic Old Town which still shows evidence of its medieval heritage.
Day 5 - Return Home
After breakfast, we check out of our hotel and head home.
