Weymouth Essentials

Weymouth's maritime history and coastal character are defined by its diverse landmarks. The town features two distinct defensive structures: the 16th-century Sandsfoot Castle, built by Henry VIII, and the Victorian-era Nothe Fort. Its engineering heritage is visible in the lifting bascule Town Bridge, while the Pavilion Theatre and Greenhill Gardens reflect its development as a Georgian resort. Natural highlights include the RSPB Radipole Lake nature reserve and the Sea Life Centre, alongside the annual sand sculpture displays at Sandworld and local history collections at Weymouth Museum.
