| Weymouth, Dorset |
| Weymouth is a seaside resort in Dorset on England's Channel coast. Its harbour is used by cross-channel ferries and is a mooring for large numbers of pleasure boats and private yachts. To the south, the town is linked to the Isle of Portland whilst to the west is the geologically important Chesil Beach, which protects Weymouth from the prevailing south-west wind and the subsequent rough seas. |
