What to do and see in Weymouth, England: The Best Historic Sites

July 26, 2021 Malia Yoakum

Hit the beautiful beaches of Weymouth to soak up the surprisingly powerful U.K. sun—there are plenty of waterfront options to pick from. The quaint harbor of Weymouth bobs merrily with fishing boats, and, downtown, Hope Square and Brewers Quay bustle with shoppers and merrymakers.

Nothe Fort

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.

The Tudor House

Reviewed By S_cake_Travel - Oswestry, United Kingdom

Tucked away in the old harbour side of Weymouth and open most afternoons. Only £4 for adult entry and you visit a gorgeous little Tudor merchants house and get an enthusiastic guided tour all to yourself. Can't recommend enough!
