Weymouth Favorite Tips by Meadows11 Top 5 Page for this destination

Ol' King George

Favorite thing: If you are the sort who likes at statues, and learn of the historical culture of areas, then I guess it's a must that you see the statue of King George III in Weymouth. If you are the sort who likes to see historical monuments ill maintained and covered in bird excretion then your quids in!

Back in the day ol' King George used to regularly visit Weymouth after he had fallen in love with the beautiful seaside resort. He would come and stay in the Prince Regent and enjoy soothing baths in the sea. As a dedication to his fondness of the town a statue was erected in his honour.

In addition a huge White Horse depicting KG riding in to Weymouth is famously located on a hill up towards Dorchester. Unfortunately, in their wisdom, the horse was shown riding out of the town. Madness! (See what I did there? A little pun on the madness of King George. Aren't I just great!.... Don't worry I've got my coat.)

Hope Square Well Worth A Look

Favorite thing: Hope Square hosts an array of worthy sites for the traveller. There is the famous Brewers Quay which hosts many shops and resteraunts as well as the Timewalk which offers an insight in to the history of the town. In addition there is the Nothe Fort just up the path, a number of dining venues, historic tudor houses, horse and cart rides and last but not least plenty of pubs!
The Red Lion is your more traditional pub, with a local, but friendly atmosphere and a cheap and quick, but highly satisfying food menu. The Excise House is a bigger, more commercial establishment with live music, bowlingo, a dining area and family room. There is also Old Rooms, Galley Bistro, New Rooms, Kings Arms, ISO Bar and others all in close proximity.
