accommodation, the Norfolk Royale Hotel is the perfect choice for seaside getaways and longer stays.

Bournemouth is superbly situated on the sunny South coast on top of spectacular cliffs which look down

upon miles of golden sand. It is probably Britain's most international resort. Stroll through the splendid

gardens or browse through the remarkable selection of shops.

 

The town is full of flowers and there are beautifully manicured parks and gardens. The delightful "chines",

small valleys in the cliffs, o�er shady groves leading to the shore.

 

There are many outstanding attractions including museums, an art gallery, two piers and a wealth of evening

entertainment

Highcliffe Castle has been described as arguably the most important surviving house of the Romantic and

Picturesque style of architecture, which flourished at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th

century. Its significance is recognised nationally by its Grade 1 status on the Statutory List of Buildings of

Special Architectural and Historical Interest.

 

Today the Castle is again a beautiful building – now for all to enjoy. Owned by the Council since 1977 and

benefitting from English Heritage funding and two National Lottery grants (in the 1990s and 2010s), the Castle

now hosts joyous weddings, stages a variety of productions, and hosts fairs, exhibitions and events

throughout the year. It is a valued asset at the heart of the community and a popular tourist attraction. We

welcomed BBC’s The Antiques Roadshow in 2012 and made an appearance more recently in Mr Selfridge on

ITV.

trails and wildlife such as red squirrels, plus 16th-century Brownsea Castle, now a private hotel.

Winchester is a city in the county of Hampshire, on the edge of England's South Downs National Park. It’s

known for medieval Winchester Cathedral, with its 17th-century Morley Library, the Winchester Bible and a

Norman crypt. Nearby are the ruins of Wolvesey Castle and the Winchester City Mill, a working 18th-century

corn mill. The Great Hall of Winchester Castle houses the medieval round table linked to King Arthur.

iconic prehistoric stone circle at Stonehenge, which stands on the grassland of Salisbury Plain. The city’s

ornate 13th-century cathedral has a 123m spire, a working 14th-century clock and an original copy of the

Magna Carta (the Great Charter), a key document from 1215 A.D.
