    Hiking

    George III travelled to Weymouth for many years at the end of the 18th century, of course: he wanted to swim in the sea.

    Although this was done discreetly with bathing carts and no one was allowed to go into the water near his majesty, a new fashion emerged:

    🔜Sea bathing became hip.

    At the same time, this meant the decline of spa towns such as Bath or Leamington Spa. The king as a trendsetter and advertising magnate for Weymouth!

    Running

    Built for the 50th year of George III's reign. Part of the history and attraction of this excellent seaside town.
