Information about Weymouth
Weymouth is a town in Dorset situated on the mouth of the River Wey and halfway along the Jurassic Coast and has been a port since medieval times. It is the largest town in the area and is the centre of activity for the people living in and around the town.
Although fishing and trading employ fewer people in the area since their peak in earlier centuries, tourism has had a strong presence in the town since the 18th century. Weymouth is a tourist resort, and its economy depends on its harbour and visitor attractions; the town is a gateway situated half-way along the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site on the Dorset and east Devon coast, important for its geology and landforms. Weymouth Harbour is home to cross-channel ferries, pleasure boats and private yachts, and nearby Portland Harbour is home to the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy, where the sailing events of the 2012 Olympic Games will be held. Weymouth's wide and shallow sandy beach is used for swimming and sunbathing during the tourist season, and for beach sport events throughout the year, including beach motocross, the International handball championships and the beach volleyball classic. The international kite festival, held in May each year on Weymouth Beach, attracts around 40,000 spectators to the esplanade from around the world.
The Pavilion Theatre was built in 1960 on a peninsula of reclaimed land between the harbour and the esplanade, after the Ritz Theatre was destroyed by fire in 1954. The Pavilion is owned and operated by Weymouth and Portland Borough Council, providing a venue for local community groups and schools, and hosting seasonal 'end of the pier' entertainment and year-round shows and events.
Weymouth has many schools catering for children of all ages. Along with the usual retail outlets that you would expect to find at any popular seaside resort, Weymouth has both local and national shops.
Weymouth railway station is the terminus of the route from London Waterloo and the route from Westbury and Bristol. Local bus services are run by First Hampshire & Dorset. Services run from Weymouth to the Isle of Portland, Dorchester, Bournemouth, Wool, Beaminster, Axminster, other villages and the town's holiday parks.
