About

Portland ward encompasses the Isle of Portland, a tied island connected to the mainland by the narrow strip of Chesil Beach. The landscape is dominated by limestone plateaus and dramatic sea cliffs, with settlements like Fortuneswell and Easton built into the slopes. Historically, the area is defined by its quarrying industry, which supplied the distinctive Portland stone for landmarks such as St Paul's Cathedral.

The coastline is rugged, with notable features like the Pulpit Rock sea stack and the lighthouse at Portland Bill. The area's maritime and military history is evident, with former naval facilities and coastal defences. The unique geology and industrial heritage continue to shape the local environment and community.
