"The
Bourne Valley is an asset to us all - a tranquil oasis, often just yards
from busy urban streets"
Roger
Yates, local resident
Greenways are shared use routes designed to give better mobility and
access to people of all abilities on foot, bike or, where possible, on
horseback. They provide safe and attractive routes for health,
recreation and local commuter journeys.
Greenways connect people with places and open spaces.

The
Bourne Valley Greenway has been developed by
Greenlink
and runs continuously for 6.5km from Canford Heath in Poole, following
the stream through Bourne Bottom, across Talbot Heath past Coy Pond and
into Bournemouth Gardens to the town centre and the
seafront.
The
Greenway serves a large population and offers a quiet, safe and tranquil
alternative to the surrounding busy roads.
Local people
make use of the route to reach the shops of Bournemouth Town Centre,
local schools, places of work and also all the countryside and gardens
along the valley; whilst visitors are drawn to explore further away from
Bournemouth Town Centre.

The Greenway is way
marked with this 'G' symbol |
