The local area
The quintessential Dorset village of Portesham is found just a mile and a half inland from the Jurassic Coast, surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful countryside yet still only a short hop from Weymouth, Dorchester or Bridport. Holidays in Portesham revolve around the great outdoors be that taking in the fabulous coastal views on a circular walk from your holiday cottage, spending sunny days on nearby Chesil Beach, trying a new watersport at West Bay or blowing away the cobwebs on a cliff top coast path or fascinating fossil hunting walk.
In the centre of Portesham you’ll find an excellent pub, The King’s Arms sitting across the road from the family home of Admiral Thomas Hardy, Portesham’s most notable former resident who served under Nelson on the HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar. The friendly pub serves excellent home cooked meals, and Duck’s Farm Shop is also well worth a visit to stock up on fresh, sustainable local produce for your holiday or for a delicious cake or snack in the café.
So holidays based in Portesham give you the very best of all worlds, with some great places to eat and outstanding walks in the village plus all that Dorset’s Jurassic Coast has to offer within very easy reach.
