Nothe Fort is Weymouth's historic sea fort, set on the Jurassic Coast and home to a museum packed with things to explore. You can wander the maze of underground tunnels, visit the Victorian Gun Deck, sit by the WW2 gun up on the Ramparts, or venture into the secret underground Nuclear Bunker, all while taking in sweeping 360 degree views along the coast. It's a dog-friendly museum, so the whole family (and pets) can join in, with a café on site for light lunches and cakes. The fort is open daily from late March to early November. Staying nearby in Weymouth, Dorset, you're close to the station and beach, with 76 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
