Bring the kids to visit this small community farm, home to the only flock of rare breed Portland sheep on Portland. You can also say hello to wallabies, goats, alpacas, ducks, chickens, pigs and donkeys. Visitors are welcome between 10am - 6pm daily.
This fort at the entrance to Weymouth harbour is a labyrinth of underground passageways opening out onto stunning views of the Jurassic Coast. Military enthusiasts will love the mammoth guns (if you're lucky you might catch a live demo), but there's plenty here to keep the rest of the family entertained too.
Run by a team of volunteers from Dorset Wildlife Trust seven days a week, the Centre has a shop, cafe, wildlife events and actitivities. A new boardwalk has recently been installed to give wheelchair users and pushchairs access to Chesil Beach. You can even sponsor a plank on the boardwalk and leave a message on a brass plaque as your lasting contribution.
This old quarry on the cliffs is now an outdoor sculpture park where you can see a collection of amazing and unusual sculptures and carvings. Part of the Portland Sculpture and Quarry Trust.
Look out for the green sea turtles, which have been bred in captivity here.
