Northbourne

Northbourne is a residential area in the northern part of Bournemouth, within the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole unitary authority on England’s south coast. The neighbourhood contains a mix of terraced houses, semi-detached homes and post-war flats, with pockets of shops and small green spaces. Local services include a primary school, a community hall and a handful of convenience stores that serve day-to-day needs. Several playing fields and allotments provide outdoor space used by local clubs and informal groups.

Transport connections rely on regular bus routes that link Northbourne to Bournemouth town centre and other parts of the BCP conurbation, while main roads give access to the A338 corridor. A compact parade of shops around the local junction meets most everyday requirements, and short bus or cycle journeys take residents to the seafront and larger shopping areas. Community activities are centred on the hall and sports pitches, and the area’s long residential avenue provides a clear linear spine through the neighbourhood.
