EXCURSIONS INCLUDE
Portland Castle is one of Henry VIII’s coastal artillery forts, built to defend Portland harbour. You can trace the fort’s long and varied story through presentations, interactive exhibits and an audio tour. Be sure to visit the Tudor kitchen, armoury and gun decks. The Governor’s Garden is a perfectly sheltered spot to enjoy dramatic sea and harbour views, and you can enjoy refreshments in the Captain’s House Tearoom.
Mapperton House and Gardens. The house is Grade I Listed, as is the attached All Saints' Church which dates from the 12th century. The manor had been owned since the 11th century by only four families (Brett, Morgan, Brodrepp, Compton), all linked by the female line, before it was sold to Ethel Labouchere in 1919. When she died in 1955 the estate was acquired by Victor Montague, Viscount Hinchingbrooke . It has remained in the Montagu family since then, and as of 2025 is owned by Luke Montagu, 12th Earl of Sandwich .
We have a free day in Weymouth where you can relax and take the day at your own pace. Maybe take a harbour boat trip and see the town from a different prospective. Wander the promenade or browse the shops.
The Royal Hotel is in a grade 2 listed building on the sea front near the clock tower so it is well positioned for a short walk into town or along to the harbour. The hotel has a lovely dining room and a comfortable bar where entertainment is held. All rooms have tea and coffee facilities, tv and hair drier.
