Bournemouth and Poole
The Bournemouth Eye
Bournemouth's highest attraction, this tethered balloon, operating from the beautiful Lower Gardens in central Bournemouth from April to September takes visitors to a height of 500 feet giving unprecedented views over the English channel and surrounding countryside.
An average ride lasts about 12 minutes and from the enclosed gondola below the balloon visitors can see for over 20 miles (conditions permitting). It even runs at night when the balloon is brightly illuminated.
