Alum Chine is the largest chine in Bournemouth. The word 'chine' is of Saxon origin meaning a steep-sided dry valley where a stream or river flowed through coastal cliffs to the sea. The word 'chine' is used in Dorset, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The sun catches the morning mist and lights up the path through a gap in the trees.
