Back to the Island

Before setting off we drove into Weymouth for a walk along the seafront

passing the new poles for the laser lights: not that pretty we thought.

And saw the new attraction: a ride up the pole in the distance for a view over Weymouth.

Then we looked around the harbour,

before setting off for Corfe Castle via the lanes and the Lulworth ranges.

Corfe Castle village centre

Corfe Castle is National Trust so we used our membership to see the castle.

Waited to see a train at the station from the castle

before a cup of tea a cake at the Castle Tea Rooms (most expensive cafe of holiday!)

and time to spot another train

before setting off for Swanage.

and lunch at one of our favourite Chippies

despite the tropical sun shades this is Swanage not Honolulu!

The a quick look at Studland beach with its view of Handfast Point

and over the Studland ferry

through Poole and Bournemouth and back to Portsmouth for the ferry back to Fishbourne and home!
