1. Abbotsbury Playground
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 36 reviews
Abbotsbury Playground is maintained and insured by volunteers. A group of local people came together to form a group in 2006 working tirelessly hard to turn a field into the beautiful playground it is today. The playground was made possible through the kind donations of the community, Chesil Bank Parish Council, Dorset Community Action (Kris Hallett) Awards for all, Co operative Community Fund, The Big Lottery Community Spaces Grant and the hard work of its committee members who successfully applied for these grants.We have volunteers who cut the grass, empty the bins and ensure the playground is perfect! We have visitors who also visit, play and keep the playground tidy and we would like to thank you all for this! Please feel free to leave us a review, we'd love to hear your thoughts on your trip!
2. Abbotsbury Swannery

We arrived 30 minutes before the 12 noon feed time (they feed at 12.00 and 16,00) which was lucky, as gave us enough time for a quick read of intro info and a 400m walk down to the feeding area. Hundreds of Mute swans were ready for their first feed and they co-operate well, whilst keeping all the migrating Canada geese at bay. The Swanherd team appeared to love their jobs and giving us all information about the life of swan and the sites 500 year plus history. In Mya and June the cygnets appear, adding to the delight of a visit. There is lots of information and kids activities also, so plenty to do in-between feeding times Combining the tickets with other Abbotsbury estate attractions and the village itself makes for good value also, and a full day out

All this holiday in Weymouth I have walked round this wetland. I think it’s fantastic our dog likes her walks there too. The bird spotting and wild life there are just great. It is well maintained and clean. There are benches to sit on. Sheltered spots to watch the birds from. Got to worth a visit if you are in the area.

First visit to Chesil Beach from the Portland end. Still fabulous and interesting. Love all the pebbles and the sloping beach that stretches for miles. Great for photographs and to get the sea air. Car park and visitors centre with cafe located nearby. Great escape.
7. 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.
8. Warmwell Holiday Park Ski Slope

4.5 based on 131 reviews
Set in acres of woodland at Warmwell Holiday Park, it boasts one of the UK's top ski and snowboard slopes, which can be easily reached from the South of England. The slope is 110m and includes a 'Big Kicker', tabletop jumps and quarter pipe. We offer ski/snowboard lessons as well as ringos and sledging so all can have fun on the slopes!

Visted late September for a snowboard lesson & ringos - lovely & quiet as most kids were back at school, so he got a bonus 1-2-1 lesson with a really friendly instructor; then after a pleasant lunch at the main centre building, back for ringos - great fun! I had not been to a dry slope for years, and that one was the old rough dendex matting, so the Snowflex™ surface was lovely to experience for the 1st time. This place was unknown to me before (is based within a lovely holiday park) and I would thoroughly recommend it. Prices seemed reasonable too, but then I wasn't the one paying ;-)

Lovely views to sit and admire. You can see Portland clearly and it's harbour. Because of the Covid 19 virus, there were up to 10 cruise ships anchored about 5 miles out into the bay, so lovely to view. The gardens are lovely for all the family to come to. There is a play area with swings etc., plenty of seats, large grass areas, walks around to the southern bay of Newton's Cove one way and the stone pier via the rocks. It's a little steep in places, but plenty of pathways to take you all the way up or down the area.
