Weymouth Info & Links

Weymouth is situated on a sheltered bay by the River Wey and has a population of around 65,000.

Just to the south of Weymouth lies the impressive Portland Harbour, which, along with Weymouth Bay, makes up some of the best sailing waters in Northern Europe. Fittingly, Weymouth is set to host sailing events in the 2012 Olympic Games.

Weymouth has remained a fantastic and lively place since the days of King George III, who regularly was entertained in his idyllic 'First Resort'. With the excitement of the Olympic Games to look forward to, the town has an exciting and fruitful future.

While fishing and freight has declined in Weymouth, tourism has long been a source of income. In 1995 Weymouth and Portland received almost 500,000 visitors to the area, mostly from the UK.

Although Weymouth port is small, it still has a fishing fleet, and takes passenger ferries to the Channel Islands and St. Malo in France. The town also boasts a large, shallow sandy beach, several museums, an aquarium, a skate park, a large shopping centre and many other attractions.

Weymouth is a low lying town, and was susceptible to flooding from the sea during extreme low pressure storms, but a sea wall was erected in the 1980s and 1990s.
