Happiness guaranteed

BOURNEMOUTH is in the county of Dorset on the south coast of England.

In a UK-wide poll in 2007, it was found to be the happiest town in Britain, scoring an impressive happy-index of 82% of those taking part in the survey.

Aer Arann’s recently-opened direct flight link from Dublin is making Bournemouth one of the under-the-radar weekend escape venues of the year; giving people a chance to discover just how happy the town is.
