About Castletown

Castletown occupies the low ground on the Isle of Portland, reached via the A354 causeway across Chesil Beach. Most visitors drive the 8km from Weymouth, whilst longer journeys typically use the A35 from Dorchester or connect via the A354. The island's compact size means local trips between settlements rarely exceed 10 minutes. Castletown sits in a natural bowl at sea level, surrounded by Portland's distinctive white limestone cliffs rising on all sides.
