Description: | Mary explains why she has never wanted to live anywhere other than Bournemouth and paints a picture of the Bournemouth she knew in her youth. The Purbeck Hills are on the Isle of Purbeck (a peninsula to the southwest of Bounemouth). Hengistbury Head is a promontory at the eastern extremity of Bournemouth and Sandbanks a coastal spit at the western extremity. Salisbury (to the north) and Winchester (to the northeast) are nearby cities and Eastbourne and Brighton (both to the east) are resorts on England’s south coast.
