About

Westham ward is a coastal district of Weymouth, situated directly east of the town centre. It encompasses the working harbour area and stretches along the northern shore of Weymouth Bay. The ward is primarily residential, characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing. The area includes the Nothe Peninsula, a headland that shelters the harbour, and the open green space of the Nothe Gardens.

A defining feature is the presence of the Nothe Fort, a 19th-century coastal defence structure built into the peninsula. The area is also known for its long, curving esplanade that follows the bay. Westham provides direct access to both the sheltered waters of the harbour and the more exposed beachfront of Weymouth Bay, shaping its maritime character.
