Visit the mysterious Isle of Portland to learn about its history and take in its breathtaking views on a five hour private tour.
Start with a visit to one of the best preserved of Henry VIII’s coastal defence castles, built in the early 1540s to protect against Spanish invasion . We then climb steeply to Portland Heights where you can take in the breathtaking views from high above the 18 mile (29 km) Chesil bank, stretching away along the Jurassic Coast all the way to Start Point in Devon. We then visit the High Angle Battery with its spooky 'ghost tunnels'.
Above pretty Church Ope Cove with its colourful beach huts you can visit an abandoned sailor’s church and then drop into the fascinating Portland Museum to learn about quarrymen, sailors and pirates. Famous Portland Bill with its iconic lighthouse is a great place to grab an icecream and take a stroll or do some bird-spotting.
Finally, you will visit Tout Quarry sculpture park where you can wander an old quarry, full of interesting and surprising sculptures, including 'Still Falling' by the world-famous sculptor Anthony Gormley. From here you can also take in the magnificent view along the 18 mile Chesil Bank, all they way to Devon.
