Spent a magical weekend there a couple of summers ago, blazing sun both days, stayed in Lower Light (my dad was a lighthouse keeper in Scotland), luckily they had the painters on site, and they were old school, so they let me and the gf up and round the tower for a viewing, then did a round the edge loop (as best we could) down to Weymouth harbour for lunch – awesome, blue sky, sea melding to green sand then dark blue, investigated the sculpture park,wataching the ripe at the point back up on the old tramway and amazing then found a gluten free pie shop somewhere along just up from Chesil beach.
