Local area guide
Skip hire in Weymouth
Weymouth is a seaside town in Dorset, sitting at the mouth of the River Wey on the English Channel around eight miles south of Dorchester, with a population of around 53,000. It is one of the oldest ports in England, and it has a grim claim in history: it was through Weymouth — or neighbouring Melcombe Regis, with which it later merged — that the Black Death is believed to have first entered England in 1348, carried by a ship from Gascony, before spreading across the country and killing perhaps half the population.
The town's modern character was made by George III. The King first visited Weymouth in 1789 to recover from illness, bathing in the sea from a wooden bathing machine to the strains of a band playing "God Save the King", and he returned repeatedly over the following fifteen years. His patronage made Weymouth one of the most fashionable resorts in Georgian England, and the elegant Georgian terraces that line the Esplanade date from that era. A painted statue of the King stands on the seafront, and a vast figure of George III on horseback is carved into the chalk hillside at Osmington, visible from the bay.
Weymouth is a working harbour with a picturesque quayside, and it has a long maritime and naval history. The harbour and Portland Harbour nearby were important naval bases, and Weymouth played a significant role in the D-Day landings — over half a million troops embarked from Weymouth and Portland in 1944. The harbour now serves fishing, leisure boats and ferries to the Channel Islands.
The town sits at the heart of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, and its sheltered bay offers some of the finest sailing waters in Britain. Portland, the tied island connected to the mainland by the shingle ridge of Chesil Beach, lies just south, and the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy hosted the sailing events of the London 2012 Olympics. Chesil Beach, an 18-mile shingle barrier, and the Fleet lagoon behind it are internationally important nature sites, with Abbotsbury Swannery at the western end.
Weymouth sits at the end of the A354 and A353, with Weymouth station giving services to London Waterloo in around two and three-quarter hours and to Bristol. Housing ranges from Georgian and Regency terraces along the Esplanade and around the harbour — much of the centre a conservation area — to Victorian terraces, interwar and post-war estates, and modern development on the town's edges, with a significant holiday-let presence and an older population profile.
