Avenue
House Bed and Breakfast,
introduce the surrounding area, Weymouth
and Dorset. |
|
Weymouth has a variety
of different attractions and
stunning events to visit, here
are just a few of our
recommendations. Turn
right from Avenue House and
within a
short stroll you will arrive at
Brewers Quay and Weymouth waterfront. There are many different cafes,
restaurants and eateries along the harbour. Within a
short distance of Brewers Quay
is one of
Weymouth's best kept secrets, the
attractive Nothe Gardens
and Nothe Fort.
Also nearby is the
award-winning sea protection
scheme at Newtons Cove and
within a few
paces you will arrive at the old
harbour with its many diving, fishing and tour boats. Crossing
the town bridge you enter the town centre and the
seafront, with its stunning sandy
beach, perfect for safe bathing
and swiming. At one end of the
sea front is the Pavilion Theatre and Ballroom,
featuring top entertainment for
all tastes. Next to the Pavilion
is the Ferry terminal, with
trips to the Channel Islands and
beyond. At the opposite end of
the sea front you can find the Sea Life Centre, Sandworld, tennis courts
and a bowling green. Weymouth
also has a friendly golf club. |

Turn left from Avenue House and
a five minute walk brings you to
the Rodwell Trail. This is the
old railway line between
Weymouth and Portland, now a
picturesque 2 1/4 mile
walk/cycle path. The island of Portland is about 3 1/2 miles
away and has a fascinating
history. Situated on the Chesil
beach is the Weymouth and
Portland Sailing Academy, home
to the 2012 Sailing Olympics. A
few miles away in the opposite
direction, but also joined to
the Chesil beach, is the pretty
thatched village of Abbotsbury.
Here you will find craft shops,
tea rooms, and the popular Swannery. Dorset has now become
famous for the Jurassic Coast,
the world's first natural
heritage site. | |
