Weymouth Maps and Orientation

(Weymouth, Dorset, England, UK)



The popular seaside town of Weymouth has long been one of the highlights in this part of Dorset and regularly attracts large numbers of visitors during the summer months. Weymouth lies along England's southerly coast, on the eastern side of a small peninsula-like projection, and can be found directly south of nearby Dorchester, separated by the picturesque South Dorset Downs.

Weymouth enjoys a scenic bay setting and stands at the mouth of the meandering River Wey, on the shoreline of the English Channel. The biggest town in the region, Weymouth is a lively spot and a draw card for many locals living close by.
