Weymouth in general

Fantastic beach? Georgian seafront? Picturesque harbour sprinkled with gently jostling fishing boats? English RIVIERA? And. according to these reviews, people go there regularly on holiday for a FORTNIGHT? Can there be possibly two Weymouths in Dorset, and does that mean that yesterday, I went and visited the wrong place?? Well on the (only) main road on the way in I did notice the gigantic Morrison's supermarket on the hill overlooking the town. The picturesque harbour was not so much a mooring place for charmingly-painted fishing boats as a large centre-of-town marina, packed with modern yachts and complete with two concrete block-shaped multi-story ...  Read the complete review

Weymouth is the town that I grew up in, and spent the first 18years of my life living there, and I absolutely loved it. A traditional English seaside town, Weymouth is situated on the Dorset coast, about an hour west from Bournemouth, and 8 miles from the county town of Dorchester. It is now considered part of the Jurassic coast, and attracts many people, particularly to the outside villages of Fleet (the setting of Moonfleet) and Abbotsbury, where the Chesil beach starts. Aside from the geological attraction, Weymouth's main appeal is the beach, which stretches from Bowleaze cove down to the pavillion. The beach is divided part way along by a rock mound, ...  Read the complete review

Weymouth has always been one of my favourite seasides, and has a lot of benefits in addition to its areas of golden sand at one end and its shingly appearance at the other. Next to the main car park, there is one of the best sea life centres I have been to - on at least 3 occassions and has a lot of different species, a children's play area and an outdoor pool for a quick splash. There's also a museum to the brewing industry - Brewers Quay which is well worth a visit. The beach is great and quite often radio 1 visits there for a roadshow during the Summer. It's easily accessible by rail, bus or coach which are within walking ...  Read the complete review

We have been to weymouth twice now for two weeks each time and really enjoyed both times. There is plenty to do in weymouth to keep all ages entertained. The attractions we vistied in weymouth were the time walk and the weymouth museum both of which are situated in brewers quay and northe fort. The time walk is good especially for younger children. The museum is made up of two rooms but is free entry. The northe fort was good too and we spent quite while in there. We can also recommend the cup of tea and tea cakes which we had from the cafe. Weymouth is also pretty good for shopping. We especially loved looking in the shops in brewers ...  Read the complete review
