19/08/26. ESAG members enoyed a day visit to Tyneham Village and Nothe Fort.
Tyneham residents were forced to abandoned the village because the military needed access due to it to prepare for the D-Day landings. Little remains of the village except for the schoolhouse and church. Interments in the churchyard are still permitted for family members. There is access through the range which is still active, at permitted times and you can walk to Worbarrow Bay (c20 mins) for a great view.
Nothe Fort is situated at the end of the Nothe Peninsula, which juts eastwards from the town of Weymouth, and Weymouth Harbour, into the sea to the north of the ex-military Portland Harbour. It's an incredibly interesting museum, entry cost is very reasonable and offers 12 months of free return visits.
