Weymouth and Portland District Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Portland milky way
Portland Bill on Boxing Day 2016.
Parked in Weymouth and cycled the old rail track to Portland!
Isle of Portland and it's spectacular coastline and light. Perfect place for photographers!
Turn away from Portland Bill lighthouse and this is the view. The beach huts are arguably an eyesore but at least have caught the early morning light.

Where to stay in Weymouth and Portland District

Heavy rain overnight in addition to the thawing snow resulted in lots of floods this morning. After several diversions I managed to make my way to the RSPB reserves at Weymouth. This Snipe thinks I can't see it. RSPB Lodmoor.

Overcombe

The stunning beaches and fantastic nightlife are just a few highlights of Overcombe. Make a stop by Weymouth Bay or Lodmoor Country Park while you're exploring the area.
