Cruiserjules Posted August 1, 2020 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Hello all, need some advice, please Work has at last slowed down a little meaning I have some free time mid-week., and we thought we'd take a day trip to Weymouth to see Azura, Britannia and Ventura. We're not too keen on going into the actual town, and wondered if anyone knew a vantage point where we would be able to park/walk and gaze longingly across the water at the ships. Also, any recommendations for a nice place for lunch... pub or picnic Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisdriving Posted August 1, 2020 #2 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) I was down there the other day thru work, as you come in from Dorchester on the A354 you will come to a roundabout on the Weymouth relief road where you are up quite high and the ships come into view very nicely. You can turn off left there and there are places to park. Edited August 1, 2020 by Chrisdriving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Check out the marinetraffic dot com website before you leave. Zoom in to Weymouth Bay and you will see what’s there. Cruise ships are blue arrows and if you tap on each of them it tells you what ship it is. They seem to be split between Weymouth Bay and Bournemouth but they move around!

If you head for Bowleaze Coveway then you can't go wrong - it's a big hill with a great overlook of the bay from Furzy Cliff. Cars can park for free all down one side (it was packed though with dog walkers, family groups and kite flyers).

Cruiserjules Posted August 2, 2020 Author #8 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Thank you all,. We're hoping to go on Thursday,work and weather permitting. Like the sound of Furzy Cliff and a paddle in the sea at Bowleaze, if its not too crowded. Jules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
