The Dorset town of Weston sits atop the Isle of Portland. It's an important component of life on Portland because it's so close to Easton and Southwell. For anyone interested in architecture or history, this is an especially interesting place to stay, having been declared a conservation area and a historic site. On the Isle of Portland, Portland Bill is a 30-minute walk from one of the several walking trails. The west cliffs of Portland are known for their abundance of owls. You can ring the famous bell of St Georges Church, which is just a short walk away. Many beautiful monuments and gravestones can be seen throughout the cemetery, all carved from the best Portland stone. St Paul's Cathedral, too, was built of Portland stone. Local churches and structures have all been constructed following the same methods, and each one is a standout in its own way. Located in the heart of the city's harbour, the National Sailing Academy is a great place for water sports lovers to learn and practise their craft. Portland Harbor and the road to it are protected by Chesil beach, which is breathtaking in its size and grandeur. You won't be disappointed with a visit to Portland, which is a one-of-a-kind experience.
