Town: Portesham is a picturesque village in West Dorset, not far from the towns of Weymouth, Dorchester, and Bridport. It is also in close proximity to the stunning Jurassic Coast, which is a World Heritage site, as well as the South West Coastal Path and the South Dorset Ridgeway, both of which run through areas of outstanding natural beauty. The beautiful countryside all around the village provides easy access to public trails like the South West Coastal Path. The village has both a farm store and a great pub with excellent food and real ales. This picturesque area makes for a wonderful touring base, as the likes of Abbotsbury Swannery and Tropical Gardens are only a short drive away. The views of Chesil Beach from St. Catherine's Chapel are spectacular. Only 8 miles away is the thriving market town of Dorchester, home to numerous restaurants, galleries, and other cultural attractions. Weymouth, a popular family-friendly seaside resort, and the Jurassic coast are close by, as is Portland, the dramatic setting for the Olympic sailing competition in 2012. It's a fantastic holiday resort all year round thanks to its proximity to the popular tourist destinations of Bournemouth and Poole, both of which can be reached in under an hour.
