Weymouth is a town and port in the middle of the UK’s English Channel coast. The coast here is a part of what was recently designated Jurassic Coast, due to its spectacular cliffs and rock formations. Passengers coming from St Malo or the Channel Islands on freight ferries to Weymouth are provided with unbeatable views of the coast.
