Weymouth Town Information

Weymouth's heritage as a seaport and fishing centre is overshadowed by its 18th century renaissance as a watering-place, and its more recent revival as a popular seaside resort. Most of the finest buildings are remnants of the town's glory days as a Georgian resort, but there are even earlier houses to be found, including the converted Tudor cottages on Trinity Street.

George III lived in Weymouth, at Gloucester House (now a hotel). Reminders of the monarch are not hard to find; his likeness is cut into the turf of a hill outside the town, and a large statue stands on the busy seafront near the Tourist Information Centre.

The town offers a comprehensive shopping centre, crowned by the new Brewers Quay Shopping Village, a mixture of shops & attractions set in a labyrinth of paved courtyards and cobbled streets.

Weymouth also offers a 9 screen cinema complex.
