Monday 12th September 2022 and Tuesday 20th September 2022Bournemouth's European ConnectionsThis 90-minute walk features on the
Festival of Europe website, which aims to celebrate all the many cultural links and connections between the UK and Europe.
The walk is led by Bournemouth tour guide Hattie Miles. It starts by the sea and follows a route that reveals some of the town’s many links to Europe. From Isaac Gulliver, whose smuggling business brought wines, lace and silks from the continent and made him one of the wealthiest men in the West, and a fourteenth century pirate who still warrants an annual day of celebration, to Guglielmo Marconi, the Italian inventor and electrical engineer whose experiments in the town led to the creation of the first wireless system. We’ll also discover stories about an Austrian Empress, a pair of lions from the Vatican City, a German Count with a very long name and a Victorian hotel that imported water for its baths from Auvergne.
Meet by the tourism office on the Pier Approach
Price £6 per person – please pay cash on the day. No need to book, just turn up!
The walk finishes in The Square – close to buses, car parks and refreshments
