Weymouth – 7 Quirky Facts
- Long Life
Life expectancy in Dorset is two years longer than the national average. - Christopher Wren
Weymouth’s MP in 1702 was the architect Christopher Wren, who designed St Paul’s Cathedral using local Portland Stone. - About Face
Originally, Weymouth’s seafront buildings faced away from the sea and the beach was used as a rubbish dump! The town soon became a popular seaside resort partly due to the frequent visits of King George III. - Black Death
It is believed the Plague entered England through the area of Melcombe Regis in 1348. - Go West
Around 100 locals left for the New World of America where they set up a new community calling it… Weymouth! - WWII
The town has a strong military history, and played a big part in D-Day with US soldiers marching through the town to board landing ships for the 1944 invasion. Over 500,000 troops set sail for France from the town. The area also played a part in the bouncing bomb which was tested in the Fleet Lagoon. - Theatrical
The Town’s first theatrical performance took place on 8th July 1771 in what became the Theatre Royal which was one of the first, purpose-built theatres outside of London.

About
In the picturesque bay in the mouth of the River Way, Weymouth is famed for its miles of golden sands and seaside/holiday feel. One of the jewels of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, an area of scientific interest and stunning coastline, it’s easy to see why it attracts so many visitors and has become a sort after place to live.
Leisure
More than 200 events are held here each year – weekly fireworks on the beach in the summer, beach sports tournaments and mega sailing events. Weymouth and Portland were chosen to host the sailing events for the 2012 Olympics – an amazing honour for such a small town. Other international sailing events are held in these waters which are considered to be among the best in northern Europe.
There are also two RSPB Nature Reserves, eleven Sites of Special Scientific Interest covering 1,979 acres, several smaller beaches and a trailway tracing the line of the old railway to Portland. Not forgetting the beautiful Jurassic coastland.
Another point of interest worth a visit is Sandsfoot Castle built by Henry the III to protect the area from invasion.
If you fancy a dip Christmas Day sees hundreds of people brave the elements to swim across the harbour raising money for charity.
