Tout Quarry Sculpture Park

Highlight • Structure

The UK is filled with abandoned quarries but surely none are as well-used as this one. Transformed into an incredible sculpture park on the Isle of Portland, walk around to find hidden artworks and little labyrinths. Amongst the wonderful works is a sculpture from the artist Anthony Gormley.

Entrance is free.

The Roy Dog Sculpture

The Roy Dog sculpture in Portland is truly cute and makes you smile. It depicts a loyal dog and reminds us of the importance of friendship and loyalty. Many visitors enjoy taking photos here because the sculpture is simply charming.

View of Chesil Bank and Portland Harbour from King Barrow Quarries

Highlight • Natural Monument

This is a stunning view of Chesil Bank, which is a 14 mile long bank of pebbles stretching from Abbotsbury to Portland Bill. It was formed naturally by long-shore drift and is the only natural connection between Portland and the mainland. It forms a natural sea wall for Portland Harbour, for many years a major Naval Base for the British Navy. Portland Harbour is probably my favorite place to windsurf. The prevailing South westerlies hop over Chesil Bank and blow across the harbour providing steady winds and flat water - ideal for speed sailing.

Olympic Rings Viewpoint – View of Chesil Beach

Highlight • Beach

The Olympic Rings stone sculpture was crafted in commemoration of the London 2012 Summer Olympics, during which the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy served as the venue for the sailing events.

It marks an excellent viewpoint overlooking Chesil Beach, a long spit of shingle stretching from Portland Island to West Bay.

You’ll find a bench up here where you can sit and admire the sweeping views.
