Overview

This is a linear walk from Westbourne along the beach and up and down the Chines to Sandbanks, where we then catch the bus to Bournemouth Pier to see the Christmas Lights in the Winter Gardens and browse the German Market in the Square. We then return to the the car by walking back along the coastal path, a walk of about 1.5 miles, and it will be dark so bring a torch.

 

Coffee stop during the walk, and possibly a hot chocolate at the Prom Café after seeing the Christmas Lights.
