Coast
A clifftop coast road above Chesil Beach on the Dorset Jurassic Coast.
The B3157 runs along the Dorset coast between Weymouth and Bridport, high above the great shingle sweep of Chesil Beach and the Fleet lagoon. The views are superb and the road undulating; mind the gradients and the summer traffic.
