Weymouth has grown over the years and now incorporates several former villages, all with their own distinct atmosphere.
Upwey – Weymouth
Take a step back in time and visit Upwey Village, this pretty area used to regularly bring holiday makers from the seafront to the village to taste the waters in the Wishing Well and enjoy tea in the tea gardens. Today you can visit the Wishing Well tea rooms and enjoy a traditional cream tea or roast dinner.
There is a bus service running quite regularly that will take you to the outskirts of the village from Weymouth town centre and another that runs mornings only that will take you to the heart of the village.
Chickerell – Weymouth
Chickerell is very close to Fleet Lagoon with Chesil Beach running along the length of the village. Chickerell is also home to Bennetts Water Garden, which is next to Chickerell Downs run by the Woodland Trust.

Preston – Weymouth
Preston is a suburb of Weymouth and lies on the coast to the East of the main town. The area is home to the remains of a Roman temple, today it is a lovely holiday spot with quaint cottages down to the coast at Bowleaze Cove. The village church of St Andrews is a 14th Century example built on the site of an earlier Saxon church. Preston neighbors the village of Sutton Poyntz.
The village of Preston has some old interesting building, including Manor Cottage. This cottage was once home to the Wesley family, the founders of Methodism. More information can be found Preston History
Wyke Regis – Weymouth
Wyke Regis situated West of the main town centre and harbour. All Saints Church dominates the area and was built in 1455, though records indicate that a church was built as early as 1172. Above the main door is the coat of arms of Henry VIII, which is said to have been brought from Sandsfoot Castle.
Sandsfoot Castle, built by Henry VIII lies within the parish of Wyke Regis. The tudor ruins can still be explored and lie along the Rodwell Trail.
