As the huge stone circle appears on the horizon, you will wonder; Was it an astronomical calendar, a burial ground, a place of healing or worship? Marvel at the shear size of the Sarcen stones, some weighing over 30 tonnes and the precision with which they are arranged.

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.
