Portland, home of stone
If one follows the Fleet and the chesil beach to the south they lead to Portland, the place where so much stone for buildings like St Paul's Cathedral comes from. Portland is actually an island connected to the mainland by a barrier beach.
There we were on the Fleet and we could not help wondering where it would lead us.
The chesil beach seemed never-ending.
It took us all the way to Portland. The scenery at the tip of the island is beautiful.
There are holiday homes on the rocky shore.
One can walk to the lighthouse and visitor's centre after having a cup of tea.
The variety of stone from the quarries is just amazing.
