Weymouth

Well where to begin? .....the beach with its beautiful golden sands for children to play and swim, the attractions and Eateries are endless, the sand sculptures are amazing and the fair rides &  trampolines are always a hit with the kids.

 

Weymouth is home to the SEALIFE adventure park and sandworld where parents and children can enjoy the day with all kinds of sea life from tiny seahorses, to fairy penguins, to sharks and turtles. 

 

For those interested in scenic walks or cycles over the country, Weymouth is located on route 26 of the National Cycle Network.

Brewers quay near the old harbour is a lovely place to go, you feel like you are going back in time as you walk along the cobbled streets and the shops are very quaint & interesting.
