About Weymouth

Weymouth is a Georgian seaside resort in Dorset, with a curving sandy bay, a working harbour and the Jurassic Coast on its doorstep.

George III holidayed at Weymouth from the 1780s, and the seafront still has Georgian terraces behind a wide esplanade, with a statue of the king and a Victorian jubilee clock. A broad sandy beach curves round Weymouth Bay, and the inner harbour, full of fishing boats and yachts, is lined with pubs and old warehouses. Nothe Fort, a Victorian fort on the headland, looks over the harbour mouth.
