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.
Not much of a mystery surrounds this one (it was sculpted in 1808 in honour of the King) but it's pretty impressive all the same. We're sure you could get creative with the camera to come up with some amusing family photos...?
Another of Henry VIII's constructions designed to repel invading French and Spanish armies, Portland Castle overlooks the harbour. The castle is an intriguing shape and outside is a stone amphitheatre, perfect for a quick sit down while you admire the view.
Many of this castles original features have been corroded by the sea and weather over the years. The castle has been renovated more recenty and an internal walkway created for public access. It is hoped that this renovation will help conserve the castle for the future.
One of Weymouth's few remaining Tudor houses, this has been restored and now gives an insight into life in Weymouth for a middle class family in the early 17th Century.
