Portland and Chesil Beach [3]
Seen from near the war memorial Image is this view over Fortuneswell toward Portland Harbour with Weymouth in the distance.
The Isle of Portland is a tied island, some 5 miles south of the resort of Weymouth, the southernmost point of the county of Dorset, joined to the mainland by Chesil Beach. The Isle has been inhabited since at least the Mesolithic period. Portland stone, a limestone famous for its use in world architecture is quarried here. Portland Harbour, is one of the largest man-made harbours in the world. Chesil Beach, a barrier beach, runs for 18 miles from West Bay to the Isle of Portland and in places is 50 feet high and 650 feet wide.

Mixed development near Osprey Quay, Portland
Former naval land at the flat northwest end of Portland appears to be developing in a piecemeal way. Roads such as Lerret Road, left, have been laid out but the spaces between them seem slow to fill. Maritime, industrial and commercial businesses and services are present or under construction. Nearest the camera on the right is a school: the Osprey Quay campus of Atlantic Academy Portland, a co-educational through school and sixth form for ages 3-19. In the background are blocks of private apartments, formerly accommodation for naval personnel: Image
