Reviewed By SueSaul - Doncaster, United Kingdom
Hired 2 bikes from Jack and did the Rodwell Trail up to Portland. Bikes were brill and was supplied with helmets,pump,lock,map and repair kit. The view’s from Portland were amazing well worth the trek up but going down was much better and faster. Had the bikes all day then Jack came and picked them up from any place we wanted, all we had to do was ring him. Thanks Jack for an A1 service I’d definitely recommend this lovely and very helpful young man

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,892 reviews
The outdoor areas of Nothe Fort are reopening to visitors every weekend until 17th May. On this date, the indoor areas will be reopened and the Fort shall be open 7 days a week from 11am till 4pm. This 19th century Fort includes a museum highlighting coastal defence. Built by the Victorians to protect Portland Harbour, Nothe Fort is one of the best preserved forts of its kind. The advances in technology that affected the fort are explained through many displays, exhibits and audio visual facilities located on the ramparts, gun decks and maze of underground passageways. Enjoy the stunning and far reaching views of the Jurassic Coast from the picnic areas on the Ramparts. These will provide one of the best vantage points on the south coast. Current annual passes have been extended by three months. Any new ticket now permits you entry for the rest of this year, and all of the next.

Nothe Fort can be seen from the beach in Weymouth and it is well worth a visit.The staff who were very knowledgeable and very helpful making time to speak directly to the 3 children we had with us.The mouse hunt captured their attention - a great way to keep the kids interesred, and the displays are well put together.we were lucky with the weather so the views were amazing.There is plenty of space to picnic outside the fort,grassy open space,but we had lunch at the cafe inside and it was voted out best lunch of the week!Anyone who has to please 3 very different children knows it isn't easy when it comes to food,but all 3 enjoyed it and so did the adults.We will definitely go again.

6. Portland Plateau
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 477 reviews
A varied 4.7 mile walk classed as Moderate along the South West Coast Path as it heads along the east coast of Portland, passing great scenery, historical forts and old quarry workings. Many of the paths around Portland Bill are accessible for powered wheelchair users and rugged pushchairs. The first ½ mile of this route follows a level wide path, but after this becomes more varied with some steep and uneven sections before reaching Church Ope Cove. From the cove to Portland Heights the path is relatively level apart from one steep climb.

Wednesday 16th September and we visited the Isle of Portland where this Plateau is a feature. We parked up in the Portland Bill Car Park and went exploring. The most famous landmark here is the Lighthouse which stands on Portland Bill. Another impressive landmark is the Trinity House Obelisk. There is so much more to see here including Pulpit Rock and the dramatic and rugged coastline. We got take away coffees from the Lobster Pot Cafe and went for a brief stroll across Portland Commons. Thankfully it was a glorious sunny day and it showed off the Plateau at it's very best.

We stumbled upon this when going for a walk - gorgeous little garden which was beautifully landscaped, and a well restored castle overlooking the sea - with great signage and historical information we were delighted to have discovered this little gem. Do go if you are in Weymouth. There is also a little coffee shack nearby and it would be a fab place to have a picnic on a nice day.

Reviewed By cportm - Brisbane, Australia
We were driving from Gunnislake to Salisbury along the Jurassic Coast when I randomly decided to stop in Abbotsbury because of the Swannery. In the end we couldn't justify £25 to visit the Swannery for just an hour, but we loved the look of the village and decided to park and wander around. Then we came upon the Gallery. Wow. I absolutely love all of the woodwork in the gallery. I think my husband is very happy we don't live in England, because I would fill my house with things from here. Thankfully Australia now lets us bring in wood products (as long as there is no bark or infestation). It was an absolute delight wandering through the gallery and seeing the talent of wood craftsmen from all over England. And the staff were lovely, answering questions and helping to pack things safely for our journey home. We enjoyed reading about the craftsmen and wood and techniques while sipping tea in the small cafe at the back as well. An unexpected find. I hope your gallery continues to flourish and provide visitors with wonderful examples of English craftsmanship.
10. The Boot Inn

Reviewed By Phantasy - Ower, United Kingdom
When we visit Weymouth, twice a year for a week at a time, the Boot is our local, about 100 yards away from our rented property. The atmosphere is terrific with lots of friendly locals and staff. They have nearly every 'Ringwood Brewery' beer with most on draught. They keep it well, obviously to a bitter drinker, the 'Old Thumper' is a must! We also share a hand raised pork pie, served on a wooden board with delicious pickle, a must for every visit. From Sunday to Thursday they offer 10% discount on drinks to all card carrying members of CAMRA, NHS and Service Personnel, not something you find in many pubs. If you have a Blue Light Card or a Defence Discount Card, they are accepted. Roll on October, I'll be ready for a good pint by then!
