Weymouth Bay Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Take note of the restrictions along this shared pedestrian - cycle path. From May 1st to October not possible to cycle between 1000 and 1800 (or something like that). In which case you can use the parallel cycleway running alongside the Lodmoor Bird and Nature reserve.
However this path alongside the sea is nice than the that parallel cycle path

Woolbridge Manor House

Highlight • Other

A nice detour for any ride, this is bricks-and-mortar evidence of Hardy's relationship with his home county Dorset. This world famous author (1840-1928) based Tess of the D'Urberville's life in and around this area, which clearly meant a lot to him. Though naturally, in typical Hardy style, he changed the names of the places, and this building is officially called Woolbridge Manor House.

Wool Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Closed to traffic and on a traffic free cycleway section.

Features in Hardye's Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Hardy refers to a tradition that a phantom coach drives up to Woolbridge Manor by night, but can only be seen by members of the Turberville family. The story is thought to be linked to the elopement of John Turberville with Anne, daughter of the 1st Viscount Howard of Bindon, in the 1580s. Anne’s step-brother, Thomas, was the builder of Lulworth Castle.

Might be good for looking at wading birds. Lots of water.

Original bridge collapsed (possible due to carrying tanks from Bovington during WW2 ) but the rebuild was well done by Dorset Council, sympathetic to the original and keeping what they could).

Lodmoor Nature Reserve

Highlight • Lake

Lodmoor, part of the Lorton Valley Nature Park just across the road from the beach and esplanade and so easy to explore.
It's large reedbed, open water and marsh attracts many different birds and other watery wildlife all year round. Hundreds of birds stop off in autumn and spring on migration. It has the largest common tern colony in the south-west so you’ll get great views of the chicks growing up.

Weymouth Bay Beach Hut

Highlight • Beach

One of the Nicest Georgian Esplanades in the Country

Hardy's Monument and the Royal Bathing Machine

Highlight • Monument

England's kings came and went here. And, they bathed here. But how?! The information board tells an exciting story of how and why a "bathing trolley" was built for a king.
Those who immerse themselves in history a little while hiking or cycling have not only enjoyed the beautiful nature, but will also return home more spiritually rich.
