Bournemouth, one of Britain's most popular seaside resorts, is a lively university town just over an hour and a half away from London. It has a mild climate, 12 kilometres of sandy beaches (awarded the prestigious Blue Flag for cleanliness), over800 hectares of beautiful parks, gardens and extensive leisure facilities. It has a wide variety of shops, stores and boutiques, and an exciting choice of theatres, cinemas, concert halls and clubs. Its many restaurants, pubs and cafes offer truly international cuisine.
Outside the town, the choice is equally extensive. Poole Harbour is close by, as is the famous Dorset coastal path - part of the World Heritage Coast. The Isle of Purbeck and the Isle of Wight are easily accessible; and such historic sights as the city of Winchester, the ancient monument at Stonehenge and the New Forest National Park are close at hand.
Bournemouth and Anglo-Continental provide the perfect combination for a rewarding stay in England - and the ideal setting for study and recreation.
