If you have the time I would suggest driving up to Portland Bill for the views
...and, of course, stopping at Portland Heights for the views back over Chesil Beach and Weymouth.

Many thanks all! The weather forecast is predictably terrible but I hope the sun will poke through so we can enjoy the views you mention

The trip was good but the drive was not. My own fault because I should have just trusted your advice instead of the sat nav which constantly nagged me to divert onto her preferred route. I got caught in the middle.

We had a nice lunch in Beaminster. Poundbury was spooky, what a weird place.

Weather was dreary. A farmer told me that since October they hadn’t had more than two days in a row without rain.

Thanks again for your help. It may not be the last time I attempt the journey although it took a lot longer than I was expecting

Fingers crossed next time the weather is better for you, you then can get up to Portland for the views.....
