Where to stay in Weymouth and Portland District

Heavy rain overnight in addition to the thawing snow resulted in lots of floods this morning. After several diversions I managed to make my way to the RSPB reserves at Weymouth. This Snipe thinks I can't see it. RSPB Lodmoor.

Dorchester

Broadwey Ford Although not the longest ford in Britain it must be a contender for longest in Dorset. About 100m long this ford which joins Watery lane with a minor track further south runs along the bed of the river Wey. The access ramp on the north side has a big drop of nearly two feet so once your vehicle is in there there's no coming back!
