Discover the wild side of Weymouth and Portland
A Legacy Trail with information 'waypoints', links all the best sites, reserves and interpretation centres together making sure you don't miss out. Whether you choose to walk the whole Trail (about 20km) from Littlemoor through to Portland Bill or visit all the main sites by car, bus or bicycle, there's lots to see and do. The trail takes you through part of the Tout Quarries nature reserve, Portland.
