Poole Quay

Day at leisure to explore Weymouth at your own pace. A small harbour town in the 12th century, Weymouth is now a popular holiday destination with beautiful beaches, spectacular scenery and an historic fishing harbour.

Custom House Quay is on the Melcombe Regis side of the river estuary and the Old Harbour is on the Weymouth side. The two harbours often opposed each other, but were officially united in the reign of Elizabeth I by a bridge built in 1597. The present bridge dates from 1930, and raises every two hours to allow ships to pass through.

Today we explore the Jurassic Coast. We visit Bridport and West Bay; renowned for fossil hunting and the famous sandstone East Cliff that exposes 185 million years of history.

We continue to Lyme Regis, a pretty seaside resort that offers breathtaking scenery, beautiful beaches and a fascinating history.
