Weymouth has been a port for many centuries. Evidence shows that Roman Galleys sailed up the River Wey as far as Radipole where the goods could be unloaded. The Romans captured Maiden Castle in AD43 and the estuary of the River Wey came into regular use as a port around this date.

Today, Weymouth is a popular seaside resort catering for the many thousands of holiday makers that flock to the town each year. The award winning golden sandy beach is very popular especially in warm weather, all usual beach facilities are on hand such as trampolines, volleyball court and of course, Punch and Judy.
