About

Westbourne & West Cliff ward is a coastal residential area directly west of Bournemouth town centre, characterised by its elevated position above Poole Bay. The ward contains the formal West Cliff Gardens, which provide green space and sea views along the cliff top. The area is primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian villas, many converted into guest houses, alongside modern apartment blocks. Its streets are arranged on a grid pattern leading down to the promenade and beach below.

A notable feature is the presence of the Bournemouth Flying Club, operating from a grass airstrip within the ward's boundaries near Meyrick Park. The area functions as a quieter neighbour to the central piers, with local shopping concentrated along Poole Road in Westbourne. Transport links include the main railway line running just inland, separating it from the town centre. The ward's geography creates a distinct, self-contained atmosphere focused on the cliff-top setting.
