This scenic route covers 3.7 miles (5.9 km) with a minimal elevation gain of 76 feet (23 metres), making it suitable for most. You can expect to complete the loop in about 1 hour and 31 minutes, enjoying diverse scenery from coastal views along the promenade to the tranquil, lush greenery of the gardens.
This accessible trail begins at the bustling Bournemouth Square, a vibrant town center hub. The path primarily follows paved promenades, especially between Bournemouth Pier and Boscombe Pier, making it an excellent choice if you are pushing a pram or using a wheelchair. The well-maintained paths within the Lower Gardens also contribute to the trail's overall ease, ensuring a comfortable experience for various fitness levels.
