Portland is a part of Dorset like no other; wild, natural and ruggedly beautiful.
This unique, tied island marks the southernmost point on the Jurassic Coast and is joined to the mainland by Chesil Beach. Its isolated location, quaint villages and rocky, coastal scenery give the island its own special atmosphere, perfect for exploring.
There is a distinctive red and white striped Portland Bill Lighthouse which is beautiful at the edge of the island.
Portland stone has been quarried on the island for many years and is used in prestigious buildings all around the world including London’s St Paul’s Cathedral and the United Nations HQ in New York.
