    2. Smugglers Paradise
      Owing to its location and remoteness, smuggling was rife on the island which has also housed several prisons and a naval base during its colourful history.
    3. Jurassic Park
      Portland is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site the Jurassic Coast. Prehistoric fossils have been found on the isle and surrounding coastland.
    4. Viking Raiders

    About

    Windblown, quirky, beautiful, Portland is as romantic as it is idyllic. Not as easily accessible as other Dorset locations, the lack of traffic and decrease in tourist numbers only adds to the isle’s many attractions.

    Leisure

    Locals enjoy an abundance of fine cafes, bars and eateries across and of course the seafood is world class. When you’re not eating, you can burn off the calories exploring the coastline or taking part in the many sports available. The island might not be blessed with retail therapy but what the few shops lack in quantity, they more than make up for in quality.

    There is also a theatre/cinema with a vibrant mix of shows and screenings throughout the year.
