About

Southwell and Weston are neighbouring settlements on the Isle of Portland, off the Dorset coast. They sit on the island’s eastern side where lanes drop down toward the shore and the stepped faces of old quarries are part of the local edge. Portland stone is visible in cut faces and walls across the area; that stone has been worked here for centuries and appears in buildings beyond the island. The eastern shoreline immediately nearby is defined by Chesil Beach, the long shingle tombolo that runs along Portland and shelters the Fleet Lagoon on the mainland side.

Local roads link Southwell and Weston with Fortuneswell and Castletown, and footpaths lead directly to the beach and to disused quarry workings. Scattered remains of limekilns and narrow access tracks tell of past industry, while the layout of streets and terraces reflects incremental growth around small community facilities. The area is best understood on foot, where the contrast between worked stone faces and stretches of shingle is evident and the island’s pattern of lanes, quarries and shore becomes clear.
