Town: Situated on Dorset's spectacular Jurassic Coast, now a World Heritage Site, the village of Fortuneswell can be found on the rugged Isle of Portland peninsula, joined to the mainland via Chesil Beach, a pebble spit, which stretches 18 miles towards West Bay. Formerly a quarrying area, Fortuneswell boasts a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, along with an intriguing maze of streets that wind their way up a steep hill to offer stunning views of the Jurassic Coast and the rolling hills of Dorset beyond. The surrounding countryside is well known as a birdwatcher’s paradise, plus with great walking and climbing opportunities, an array of watersport activities, wonderful sandy beaches, and Weymouth just 5 miles away, this super holiday destination is not to be missed!

Fortuneswell

Not worth the money i paid, couldve gone abroad for far less. The front door lock is illegal under the new fire regs. The rear garden gate is holding up a brick wall and could be very dangerous. The phrase parking is "first come first served basis" doesn’t apply to the rd it applies to the entire Isle. Don’t leave anything in your vehicle as several vehicles had been broken into in the carparks. On a plusnote , there is a co-op nearby, for basics, all the other shops or pubs are shut down, the ones that are open are grotty. Fishing was good !
