Con
Traffic congestion particularly in the summer
In a nutshell
Good old fashioned British seaside resort.
SEA LIFE Weymouth Adventure Park
debbieluckham Says: We also went to SEA LIFE Weymouth adventure park coz it was only £18 for both attractions adventure park + the Weymouth Tower that just opened), and we were staying 4 days so it made sense to do both.Love this park! Loads of splash play areas (I have a 3 year old), and live...
debbieluckham Says: I just went up the Weymouth SEA LIFE Tower!It was cool, its in the middle of the main weymouth bay and you see all the way to portland too. I didn't realise it went so high, but you have seats, and audio telling you all about the sites you see so it's quite entertaining. It...
smirnofforiginal Says: Head out of Weymouth in the direction of Wool and you will see signs to the Tank Museum.What can I possibly say except it's good for a couple of hours... and that it is FULL of tanks... big one, little ones and every size, shape and colour inbetween! If you like tanks you...
Tyneham - cottages and details
smirnofforiginal Says: this is not so much of a tip as it is a taster of the other cottages. On their own there is nothing much to report on them - that I know of anyway,,, but I think they are extremely interesting to have a look at ...
smirnofforiginal Says: To be honest there is nothing really much to say about this building other than it was the Rectory.It has numerous scars and holes from bullets...Inside it has some beautiful, old, cast iron fire places... gently being reclaimed by the delicate English countryside...
smirnofforiginal Says: This is the set of building right next to the telephone box and the telegraph pole. The telephone box is locked but if you look through the glass the telephone, books and posters etc... are all left overs from when the village was comandeered.There is a telegraph pole next...
smirnofforiginal Says: St. Mary's church, TynehamPreserved as a museum, it was on the door of this church that one of the 252 displaced residents left a note:'Please treat the church and houses with care; we have given up our homes where many of us lived for generations to help win the war to keep...
smirnofforiginal Says: The school house is just one room...It apparently closed some years before Tyneham was comandeered by the British military.It has been renovated and is preserved as a museum... and a very interesting one it makes for too...
smirnofforiginal Says: Well I was rather disappointed not to get across the harbour's waters via this method but the wind had apparently picked up and the little boats couldn't get into the other side...Other than being a nice it saves having to walk to the end of the harbour to use the bridge!

The Country Kitchen cafe: Full English Breakfasts all day & Roasts from noon
LINDstu Says: New owners hooray! Good gut busting servings of meals with real mash potato and gravy. They also do pizzas and children's meals. Serve roasts on Sundays and through the week when available. Friendly experienced staff and clean loos. Any meat dish with mash and veg. Touches...
LINDstu Says: This is the classiest restaurant on the Esplanade. Not for fast fooders. Good value for money. Smart modern but relaxing. Linen tableclothes and wine waiters. Veal escalope with zucchini! Also their pizzas are the real thing not all doughy fat and cheese like all the other...
LINDstu Says: A very friendly bunch of people young and old, all with the love of metal music some weekends but cool jazz for the older folk on Sundays. Halloween coming up soon again! This is the party place ! Everything is there.
Britannia2 Says: There is a bus every two hours that goes from Poole to Exeter along the beautiful Dorset coast. The views from the upper deck must be very good and at just £5.00+ for a day ticket a trip on the bus represents good value.
Britannia2 Says: If you are in Weymouth and want to explore north of Weymouth there is rover ticket called a Heart of Wessex Day Ranger. Available after 08.20 this ticket allows unlimited travel between Weymouth - Castle Cary - Bristol TM plus Swindon - Bath Spa/Trowbridge. Cost is £19.00 or...
Cove Gallery: Where To Get Your Unique Souvenir(s)!
johngayton Says: This is an eye-catching little commercial art gallery on the edge of the old harbour which specialises in showcasing the works of local artists. Exhibits include original paintings, prints, ceramics, sculpture, jewellery and glass and whilst everything is for sale you are...
General Tip: Something For Everyone
johngayton Says: Wandering the pedestrianised central streets you'll notice just how undeveloped the town is - as if the 1960's planners who ruined the character of so many other towns and cities had somehow bypassed the place. The shops here are a delight. There is, as expected, branches of...
Weymouth's Sand Sculptors - Past and Present
johngayton Says: Since the 1920's one of the beach attractions has been the summer exhibitions of sand sculptures. This was started by a guy called Fred Darrington and evolved from a local custom of lads drawing pictures in the sand as the tide retreated in the hope of earning a few coppers...
One of my favourite pubs in Weymouth is the Dolphin on Park Street, just across from the train station. This is always a welcoming pub and ideal for that first beer when I get off the train, and then again for a quick one or two before catching the train back. It is owned by the excellent Hopback brewery whose "Summer Lightning" is one of my favourite beers.
It was therefore a bit of a shock on my last visit to find that it had no draught beer on offer and a scant selection of bottled. The chatty barman apologetically informed me that there had been a problem with the delivery and they wouldn't have any until the weekend.
Doing a little post trip research I find that this has been quite a regular occurence recently - maybe they haven't been paying their bills??
But never mind the pub is still little corner local with a good atmosphere and I made do with a couple of the breweries bottled Taiphoon beers which, with its coriander and cumin flavourings, was a tasty alternative.
The pub is also a small hotel with five en-suite rooms and offers freebie WiFi and I'd certainly consider staying there if I ever need an overnight stop - but I'd phone first to check the beer situation!!

johngayton Says: Something Weymouth doesn't do very well is its provision of a traditional seaside resort pier. There is a pier, completed in 1933, which is mostly a commercial one, built to service the ferries and cargo vessels, and what is called "The Pleasure Pier", but all that really...
Royal Oak - The Cheapest Beer In Town??
johngayton Says: There are actually two Royal Oaks in town, one on Dorchester Road and this one here on Custom House Quay. I don't know anything about the Dorchester Road one but this one seems a friendly enough pub and has a great location on the quayside.Unfortunately on the grey May...
