The Norfolk Royale is an ideal base from which to take full advantage of this exciting, cosmopolitan town. Bournemouth has a superb range of stores and boutiques, and the famous gardens and ‘chines’ lead down to 7 miles of Blue Flag, clean, sandy beaches and sparkling sea, where wind surfing, water skiing and offshore races constantly stir the bay.
A glittering array of entertainment is on offer, with countless restaurants, nightclubs, cinemas and casinos, including the Pavilion Theatre with world-class performers and shows. Splendid 18-hole golf courses within immediate proximity top an endless list of sporting activities available. The Bournemouth International Centre is only 10 minutes’ walk from the hotel, and hosts major conventions and exhibitions. Further afield there is a wealth of unspoilt countryside: the enchanting New Forest with wooded glades, thatched pubs, cream teas, and of course - the ponies. To the west, the awe-inspiring Purbeck Hills provide a rugged background to fascinating bays, Corfe Castle, and the natural beauty of Hardy's Wessex.
Excellent motorways and high speed trains make Bournemouth's central coastal location easily accessible. Central London and Heathrow Airport are just 90 minutes away by rail, while South Coast ferry services and national and international air connections to Bournemouth and Southampton Airports, provide the visitor with a choice of routes to Bournemouth. The Norfolk Royale is close to all the major attractions for the young and old, plus a free 'Kids Festival' during the high season.
