Summary[edit]

Description

After we left Weymouth, we went to the Isle of Portland, mainly to go to the lighthouse at Portland Bill.

We may have gone when I was little, but back then the lighthouse was closed. This time it was open.

The island (well it's not really an island as it is connected by a land bridge to the rest of Dorset) is where the famous Portland Stone comes from.

This is the Trinity House Landmark. Grade II listed.
