Bournemouth has considerable associations with the family of famed 19th century poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Boscombe Manor was once the home of his son, and today the house is a museum dedicated to the poet and his circle of literary associates.

With all manner of personal memorabilia, this museum is a must for fans of the poet, or indeed anyone with a literary interest.

The Shelley Rooms are located in Shelley Park in Boscombe, and are open daily except Mondays from 2pm to 5pm. Admission is free.
