Naming Conventions
The word 'Bournemouth' is often used loosely to describe the South East Dorset conurbation, which also contains the neighbouring towns of Poole, Christchurch, Wimborne Minster, Verwood, Ringwood and New Milton. As a result, "Bournemouth" is used in the following terms:
- Although it has a significant presence in Bournemouth town centre, Bournemouth University's main campus is located in Poole, on the boundary with Bournemouth
- Bournemouth Airport is located near Hurn in the borough of Christchurch, and was originally named RAF Hurn
- "Bournemouth Bay" is sometimes used for Poole Bay
- The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is now based in Poole
