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, an historic
Victorian Brewery which has been
redeveloped. Brewers Quay
now boasts a number of quaint shops,
a Timewalk Sensory Tour, Museum,
Discovery Exhibition, as well as
some superb bars and
restaurants. 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, 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. |
