About

Littlemoor & Preston is a residential ward on the eastern edge of Weymouth, characterised by post-war and modern housing estates. The area primarily serves as a commuter base for the town, with local shopping parades meeting everyday needs. Its landscape includes open grassland and gentle slopes that lead towards the Ridgeway, providing accessible green spaces and walking routes for residents.

A notable local feature is the presence of the South West Coast Path running through the ward, where it transitions from coastline to the trail's inland sections. The area is also home to the sprawling Lodmoor Country Park, a large nature reserve with wetlands and reed beds that attract birdlife. This blend of practical housing and significant natural corridors defines the ward's character.
