Weymouth was once the home of George III. Its reputation as a holiday resort began in Georgian days.
Even today, Weymouth offers splendid beaches, stunning scenery, and a good dose of history and architecture.

About Weymouth: Tourist Attractions - Weymouth, Dorset, England, UK
Two of the main attractions in Weymouth are Nothe Fort and Portland Castle. Nothe fort sits on a jetty of land in Portland Harbour. It dates back to 1860 and was used as a fort until 1956. It has since been converted into a museum with displays outlining the fort's history, specifically its role during WWII. Portland Castle was built in the 1500s by Henry VIII and from white Portland stone.
The town's history as a Georgian resort can still be seen in the architecture of the town centre. Several fine buildings and Tudor cottages can still be found.
Near the town centre, the golden-sand beach of Weymouth is still a main draw card for tourists. A walk along the Georgian beach promenade is relaxing and rewarding.
