Bournemouth's River Bourne

Bet few visitors are aware this pretty stream flowing through the "Lower, Central and Upper Gardens", is The Bourne'

It looks harmless but every few years, after heavy rain it can overflow and turn the surrounding areas into something resembling London's Serpentine. https://images.app.goo.gl/LSQpSt5ZonPQr8c49

Had a walk, blipped The Bourne from The Square. Then visited friends J&J in the afternoon. Another mild day.

Courtesy of Quora: The name "Bournemouth" originates from the confluence of the River Bourne and the Old English word "mūþ," meaning "mouth." Thus, "Bournemouth" essentially means "the mouth of the Bourne." The river itself is thought to have been named after the Celtic word for "stream" or "river." The area developed significantly in the 19th century as a seaside resort, and the name has remained ever since.
