The popular resort of Weymouth has a wide variety of attractions on offer, appealing to all tastes and ages. There are glorious sandy beaches with excellent facilities for watersports and a picturesque, bustling harbour you can take regular fishing trips from. A short drive takes you to Portland Harbour, and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, linked to Weymouth by the dramatic Chesil Beach. Visit Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s “Casterbridge”, only 7 miles away, or take a journey along the scenic coastal road and call in at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens.
