Summary[edit]

Description

Now that the Bournemouth Eye (Balloon) won't be coming back, it seems appropriate to post this...

Bournemouth's coastline looking over the sea towards the Isle of Wight which can be seen clearly in the distance. Taken from the Bournemouth Eye, a giant tethered balloon 150m up in the air, seen on a beautiful summer day.

Bournemouth, Dorset has a population of 183,000 and is the largest town between Exeter and Southampton. It is a regional transportation hub, contains many of the SW's leading business as well as the gateway to the Jurassic Coast. Bournemouth has miles of superb beaches, Victorian Architecture and great scenery.

In the picture you can see the following distant landmarks:

- Christchurch Priory (small white tower just in front of low hill covered in trees)

- Isle of Wight

- Hengistbury Head (rocky sandy headland just in front of the Isle of Wight)

- Hurst Spit (headland behind Hengistbury Head) - about 20 miles away.

- Southbourne Water Tower (small red tower to the right of the Priory)

St Catherine's Hill (tree covered hill behind the Priory)
