Weymouth has long been one of the most popular seaside resorts in Britain – holidaymakers have been flocking to this corner of Dorset since King George III was a regular visitor more than 200 years ago.
It isn’t hard to see why – the sheltered, shallow waters of its golden sandy beach are ideal for bathing, and Weymouth enjoys more sunshine than anywhere else in England, even in winter.
Weymouth’s central position also makes it a great base from which to visit the Jurassic Coast, with much of the coastline in both directions easily accessible.
