Overview
It was 2017 when we last visited Weymouth and we thought what better location to kick off our 2020 season. We have also secured a very nice Hotel, the 3 star Hotel Rex which is on the sea front, in the heart of the seaside town. Weymouth is a bustling seaside town, with a lovely long, promenade and modern marina with a lively mixture of traditional pubs and modern bistros and plenty of live music to enjoy on a evening. Its also a perfect base to explore some of the most beautiful and dramatic coastal walking in the UK, so this year we shall spend both days on the coast. One day we will enjoy the sensational scenery around the ancient village of Abbotsbury. By contrast our second day will see us visiting the Towering limestone cliffs of the Isle of Portland. See you there…

Location & Itinerary
To allow you to choose a walk that suits you best, we will provide a minimum of two walks on each day, led by professional and knowledgeable walking guides. On both days there will be a harder walk of 10-12 miles with up to 2,000ft of ascent and a gentler walk of 7-10 miles with less ascent. The Sunday walk may finish a little earlier.
Travel & Stay
The 3-star Hotel Rex is situated on the Esplanade, in the heart of Weymouth overlooking the stunning golden sands of Weymouth Beach and the Jurassic Coastline beyond. The 17th Century Harbour, with its busy fishing fleet is just a short walk into town and here you will find numerous traditional inns and pubs with a wide variety of live music. A very warm welcome awaits you at the Hotel Rex, which offers the comforts and luxuries of a modern hotel yet still retains its original character and splendour. The restaurant retains the features of the wine cellars, with the old vaults now offering a more private and intimate dining experience in an alcove setting. To compliment your meal there is an excellent wine list, with an impressive collection of wines from around the world. The hotel bar, situated on the ground floor overlooking Weymouth Beach, is the perfect venue for an aperitif or nightcap. Serving draught beers, fine wines and an extensive selection of premium spirits and freshly ground coffee, it is the perfect venue to relax and enjoy the ambience of the hotel. All 31 bedrooms are en suite and are comfortably decorated and equipped with televisions and complimentary hospitality trays.
