In the year 1809 a public house appeared on the moor, the Tapps Arms, a couple of years after this, in eighteen twelve, the first people, a retired army officer and wife, moved in.
Lewis Tregonwell and his wife bought a little land, from Sir George Ivison Tapps, on which the couple constructed a series of villas with a sea view the idea being to let them in the summer months for vacations. Lewis Tregonwell also built a nearby summerhouse. and also began to plant hundreds of pine trees, creating a beautiful sheltered walk leading to the beach, , the Invalid’s Walk as it was called later.
Ever since those early days Bournemouth’s popularity, as a vacation destination, has increased continually, and today, it is widely known as a tourist haven for entertainment, culture, leisure, fun and recreation. The best places to visit include; the award winning Central Gardens, the graveyard of St. Peters Church, the Russel-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum and Bournemouth Pier.
