Strong winds greeted us last Friday upon our arrival to the Bill! We took a taxi from Weymouth to the B&B cottage we were to stay at and after checking in, having a coffee, and unpacking a few things we set out to walk around Portland Bill toward the lighthouse before heading to the Pulpit Inn for dinner. Here are a few snaps I managed to take before my phone died.
We went up into the lighthouse on the Sunday but I’ll have a more detailed post about that soon! In the meantime enjoy our blustery photos of Portland Bill on the last Friday of January!
How many of you have visited the Isle of Portland? What was your favourite part?
Cheers!

I love lighthouses there is something so majestic about them – lucky you getting to go up one! My favourite photo is the close up of the lighthouse. Glad you had a wonderful trip.

I don’t think I have ever been up a lighthouse. This post has reminded me of the childrens programme Portland Bill …. I am now singing the song from my childhood!

My husband shared some episodes of Portland Bill in YouTube before I returned to the UK and I loved it! If I can find it on DVD I’m totally buying it for when we have kids! 😀 xx

Whereabouts are you, Jenni? If you go to the Trinity House website you’ll see a list of all the lighthouses in the UK. 🙂

We went to Portland a few weeks ago and need to return to climb the lighthouse and see the view from up there
