Afternoon In Weymouth Vlog 21st July 2019
Join us for the afternoon as we head down to a very sunny and beautiful Weymouth located in Dorset, England, UK
I have wanted to visit Weymouth for a long time and after a quick visit to ride the amazing Ghost Train at Fantasy Island Fun Park up the road we jumped back into the car and drove down the seafront to what is now one of my favourite English seaside towns
Unfortunately the Jurassic Coaster Sky Tower (operated by Merlin Entertainments) was closed, but the beautiful day really made Weymouth stand out from the rest with it’s amazing beach, crystal clear water plus some small attractions

Sealife Tower Weymouth England UK
The Weymouth Sea Life Tower was an observational tower in Weymouth, Dorset, England. It was situated next to Weymouth Harbour and the Weymouth Pavilion, where it overlooks Weymouth town, Weymouth Beach, the Nothe Fort and Portland Harbour, including the Breakwater. It first opened on 22 June 2012 and closed 2 August 2019.
The tower stood 53 metres high (174 ft) and was able to turn a full 360 degrees as it rises during operation. The clear-fronted passenger gondola of the tower can accommodate 69 passengers at a time,whilst each tower session lasts approximately 15 minutes. A total of 1100 tons of concrete was used during building, whilst the tower itself weighs 140 tons
02/08/19 Closure announced on facebook:
*ANNOUNCEMENT* Jurassic Skyline opened in 2012 as a temporary attraction offering unique views of Weymouth, Portland and the Jurassic Coast. Since then the attraction has welcomed almost 750,000 visitors. However, over recent years visitor volume has declined and having thoroughly reviewed all the options on the financial viability of the Jurassic Skyline, we have reached the difficult decision not to extend the life span of this attraction.
As a result Jurassic Skyline is now permanently closed. This was an enormously tough decision which has been reached with a heavy heart and with the utmost consideration. We will be working closely with Dorset Council to manage the removal of Jurassic Skyline and reinstatement of the land at the Peninsula in the coming months.
We’d like to say a huge thank you to all our staff who have shown amazing commitment and teamwork over the years. We also want to thank all our wonderful guests for their support.
19th-century Victorian Seafront Hotel - the 'Royal Hotel' in Weymouth, England
Royal Hotel:
Facing the beach and the South West Coast Path, this 19th-century Victorian seafront hotel is a 3-minute walk from Weymouth railway station and half a mile from dining and entertainment at Weymouth Pavilion.
The straightforward rooms with contemporary touches have en suite bathrooms, TVs, and tea and coffeemaking equipment; some offer sea views. Upgraded rooms add flat-screens, and some also feature 4-poster beds, and separate baths and showers.
Breakfast and dinner are included, and there's a restaurant with beach views. Wi-Fi is free in public areas. Other amenities include a lounge bar, a ballroom with nightly entertainment, and a game room.
United States:
The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S.) or America (/əˈmɛrɪkə/), is a federal republic[16][17] composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions.[fn 6] Forty-eight states and the federal district are contiguous and located in North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwest corner of North America, bordered by Canada to the east and across the Bering Strait from Russia to the west. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The U.S. territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, stretching across nine official time zones. The extremely diverse geography, climate and wildlife of the United States make it one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries.[19]
At 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million km2)[20] and with over 324 million people, the United States is the world's third- or fourth-largest country by total area,[fn 7] and the third-most populous. The capital is Washington, D.C., and the largest city is New York City; twelve other major metropolitan areas—each with at least 4.5 million inhabitants—are Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Miami, Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco, Phoenix, and Riverside.
Weymouth Bay and The Esplanade - England, UK
Weymouth Bay is a sheltered bay on the south coast of England, in Dorset. It is protected from erosion by Chesil Beach and the Isle of Portland, and includes several beaches, notably Weymouth Beach, a gently curving arc of golden sand which stretches from the resort of Weymouth. Weymouth Bay is situated approximately halfway along the UNESCO Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, a 153-kilometre (95 mi) long stretch of coast, important for its varied geology and many unique landforms.
Boundary
When Natural England looked at access to Weymouth Bay prior to the 2012 Olympic Games, they defined it as the stretch between Rufus Castle on the Isle of Portland and Lulworth Cove, an area which covers Portland Harbour, Weymouth Beach and Ringstead Bay.[1]
Sailing
The bay's waters are excellent for sailing — the best sailing waters in northern Europe,[2] in part because the bay is sheltered from south-west winds. This means that Portland Bill can be accessed easily from anywhere on Weymouth Bay by sailing when the tide is turning as an eddy flows along Portland's eastern side.[3]
The bay is home to the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy and hosted the sailing events for the 2012 Olympic Games. Since the games, the Academy's venue has continued to improve to ensure a legacy for the Olympic Games.[4]
Painting
Weymouth Bay: Bowleaze Cove and Jordon Hill was painted by the leading English landscape artist John Constable in 1816–17. Constable had honeymooned on the south coast in October 1816, inspiring the painting. The painting now hangs in the National Gallery, London.[5]
The ESPLANADE
The Esplanade is immediately next to the sandy Weymouth Beach. To the south at the end of the Esplanade are Weymouth Pier,the Condor Ferries terminal for ferry service to the Channel Islands and the Pavilion Theatre.[1] Also towards the south is King's Statue - a statue of King George III who visited Weymouth and helped to make sea bathing fashionable here.
The Jubilee Clock is a brightly painted and very visible feature on the Esplanade. It was erected in 1887 to mark the Golden jubilee of Queen Victoria. To the north is the suburb of Greenhill.
There are a number of tourist-oriented shops on the Esplanade, together with many guest houses, hotels, and places to eat. These include the long-established Rossi's Ices, which started trading in 1937.[2]
Redevelopment
As part of the regeneration of Weymouth and Portland, it was decided in 2007 that the Esplanade will be redeveloped in time for the 2012 Olympic Games.[3]
The scheme could include the restoration and extension the Pier Bandstand at the northern end of the Esplanade. The exterior's Art Deco features and symmetry would be restored, the ground floor converted into a café, restaurant and toilet facilities, and the upper floor extended out to sea with a curved wooden deck.[4] The area in front of the bandstand would be redesigned into a 1930s-style square, as the northern gateway to the Esplanade.[3][5]
United States:
The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S.) or America (/əˈmɛrɪkə/), is a federal republic[16][17] composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions.[fn 6] Forty-eight states and the federal district are contiguous and located in North America between Canada and Mexico.

Idiots driving about Weymouth today
Street racers and law breakers, a BMW ignoring sign regulations, if anyone was crossing at those lights which they were technically allowed to walk, the BMW would`ve mowed them down, then you`ve got a scooby and an evo being idiots speeding across roundabouts without preparing to slow down or stop.
