Weymouth - Five Of The Best Spots To Visit

By: Helen Stevens

Weymouth is one of the best seaside destinations in Dorset and has been extremely popular with tourists since the 18th Century. With countless attractions available I have decided to focus on five of the best places and these are as follows:
Weymouth Whitewater
This attraction is not for the easily frightened and is an heart stopping adventure that is most popular with younger generations. If you like a challenge full of fun and excitement then you will enjoy the strong tides and white-knuckle feel that Weymouth Whitewater has to offer, just be prepared to get soaked.
Brewers Quay:
If you like History then Brewers Quay is the place to go. There is the Timewalk Museum which is a wonderful voyage back through six hundred years of Weymouth’s past showing events such as the Black Death that hit the town in the 14th Century as well as the townsfolk preparing for the onset of the Spanish Armada. There is also the old brewey building which originates from the Victorian era and houses over twenty shops selling a variety of specialist merchandise.
Sharky's Playzone
Sharky's Playzone is a wonderful place to take children. It caters for kids of all ages as well as the elder ones and even adults might fancy trying the Laserzone which is open in the evening for children 7 years and older. There is also a bar if you {{{fancy|want|feel like}} a drink as well as a wide choice of food and drinks for the children.
Sea Life Park
Specifically designed for the whole family, the Sea Life Park with its indoor and outdoor attractions will keep people from all generations entertained. With a wide range of sea creatures here such as sharks, octopus, seahorses etc the Sea Life Park is a fabulous experience if you wish to learn more about sea life.
Bennett's Water Garden:
Finally there is Bennett's water garden which is believed to have the finest range of water lilies in Britain. Named after its planter, Norman Bennett, the garden has continued to thrive covering a massive eight acres and is a perfect setting for a relaxing walk.
With so much to see and do it is no wonder that so many tourists flock to Weymouth, and I would recommend staying at this historic town if you ever get the opportunity.
