DAY ONE - ARRIVE WEYMOUTH Arrive at Weymouth station and take a taxi or a short stroll to your accommodation on the Georgian seafront. If there is time, take a stroll along the promenade to work up an appetite before heading out to a harbour restaurant. DAY TWO - BRIDPORT, WEST BAY, CHESIL BEACH AND ABBOTSBURY Today we head off to Bridport's award-winning Saturday market where stalls spill out across its streets. Hunt for one-of-a-kind souvenirs amongst its antique and craft stalls before heading down to West Bay, home to the cliff scenes from Broadchurch. Afterwards, we drive back along the coast road to take in a visit to the pretty village of Abbotsbury for afternoon tea or a refreshing drink in a pub garden. DAY THREE - TYNEHAM, CORFE CASTLE AND PURBECK Take the coast road through the Lulworth Ranges to visit the deserted village of Tyneham which was requisitioned during WWII and never returned, then on to Corfe Castle and the quaint village which takes its name. Here you can explore the castle ruins or take a ride on the heritage railway to the traditional seaside town of Swanage. DAY FOUR - LULWORTH COVE, DURDLE DOOR AND LULWORTH CASTLE Today we head west again to visit the iconic rock arch at Durdle Door and then Lulworth Cove with its beautiful horseshoe bay. Afterwards we visit Lulworth Castle, built as a hunting lodge in the seventeenth century and sadly partly destroyed by fire in the early C20th. DAY FIVE - ISLE OF PORTLAND AND WEYMOUTH AT LEISURE This morning is devoted to the Isle of Portland. We’ll visit Portland Castle and continue to Portland Bill, where the lighthouse stands at the southern tip of the island. We can stop at the little museum to learn more about the quarrying, smugglers and sea-farers that make up the island's history or explore the interesting sculpture park. The afternoon is yours to spend at leisure in Weymouth. DAY SIX - LYME REGIS AND ITS FOSSIL HERITAGE Today we head to Lyme Regis, a town closely linked with the early study of fossils and with Mary Anning in particular. Explore the Cobb and the museum, and spend time along the seafront or in the old streets. There is plenty to interest anyone curious about the coast and its past. DAY SEVEN - DEPARTURE Explore the historic harbour and maybe watch the boats go with a fish and chip lunch before heading back to the station for your journey home.
