Weymouth is a seaside town in the county of Dorset. The town has a population of 63,648 people (according to the 2001 census).
The first mention of a settlement here wasn't until the 13th century, though it expanded sufficiently as a seaport to be declared a royal borough in 1252. In 1571, the town merged with Melcombe Regis to form the double borough of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis, since when both towns have become known simply as Weymouth.
Weymouth is acknowledged as one of the first modern tourist destinations, after King George III made Weymouth his summer holiday residence on 14 occasions, thus creating a trend of seaside tourism. Many of the original Georgian architecture along the seafront remains today. On a hill outside Weymouth is a mounted white horse, carved into a chalk hillside, which was created in honour of the King. However, the horse is facing away from the town, and according to legend, this offended King George III, who took it to mean the people of Weymouth didn't accept him. The designer is said to have hanged himself at hearing this. The town is still a resort, though it is nowhere near as popular as during its heyday. Weymouth is still one of the sunniest locations in the UK, allowing it to throw off the dull, grey weather stereotype which is attached to so many UK resorts.
Weymouth (and nearby Portland) were both extremely important during WWII, as a number of ships from the British Navy were based in Portland. Weymouth's Nathe Port was also important during the D-Day preperations, and development of the bouncing bomb.
The harbour is still important for the town, which developed around it. The harbour holds a large fishing fleet, and is a terminus for cross channel ferries to the Channel Islands, and seasonally to St Malo (operated by Condor Ferries). The inner harbour also holds berthings for a number of pleasure boats, cruisers and yachts, earning Weymouth the nickname 'Monte Carlo of the South Coast'.
As well as the port, Weymouth is connected to the National Rail Network, and is a terminus for trains from London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads. Weymouth is also home to a fairly unique railway oddity - until 1987, trains could often be seen running down through the streets to the Weymouth Quay station. Trains were preceed three men walking ahead; any any drivers who lefttheir cars in the way never did it again! While the rails are still in existance, the line is no longer used, and was closed when Weymouth station was downsized to a more manageable size.
Nearby towns to Weymouth include Dorchester, Wimborne Minster, Poole, Wareham, Swanage, Bridport, Lyme Regis and Fortuneswell.
