Athelhampton is one of the finest 15th century houses in England, containing many magnificently furnished rooms. The gardens, dating from 1891, are full of vistas and gain much from the fountains and River Piddle flowing through. Weymouth Sea Life Park has a wide and changing programme including feeding displays, talks and demonstrations to help you understand more about the universe under the sea. Inspired by Weymouth's turbulent past and strong maritime connections, The Timewalk attraction tells the fascinating story of the town as seen through the eyes of Ms. Paws the brewery cat and her eight feline ancestors. The gardens are laid out in a horseshoe below Minterne House, with a chain of small lakes, waterfalls and streams.
