Itinerary

  1. Our first stop is the iconic Durdle Door, one of the most photographed landmarks on the Jurassic Coast. Enjoy the sweeping views from the clifftop, and for those who are able, take the short walk to see the massive, impressive limestone archway up close.

    30 min

  2. Next, we head to the stunning Lulworth Cove, world-famous for its perfectly formed horseshoe shape. Take a gentle stroll down to the white pebble beach to admire the crystal-clear waters, or simply relax in the charming coastal village with a coffee, local ice cream, or a pint at a traditional village pub.

    1 h

  3. Our next stop takes us inland to the dramatic ruins of Corfe Castle. Rising majestically above the Purbeck hills, this thousand-year-old fortress is steeped in history and tales of the English Civil War. You can purchase a ticket to climb the hill and walk among the ancient walls, or simply stay below to explore the charming, picturesque village and enjoy a classic Dorset cream tea.

    1 h

  4. Our midday stop brings us to the classic seaside town of Weymouth, the perfect place to pause for lunch. Take a leisurely stroll along the quaint, historic harbour, watch the boats bob in the water, and treat yourself to some traditional fish and chips or a hearty pub meal with a beautiful waterfront view.

    1 h

  5. Our tour continues to the Isle of Portland. Here, we will visit the spectacular Olympic Rings viewpoint, looking out over the incredible 18-mile expanse of Chesil Beach.

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.
