Out & About # 6 - Portland Bill

Portland Bill

Pictured above is one of my favourite shots from a drive to Portland Bill when we were on our holidays a few weeks ago.

I’m a bit too young to remember, but Portland Bill is famous for the children’s television series ‘The Adventures of Portland Bill’ made in 1983.

It was particularly evident walking around the cliffs that the strong seas have a major impact with piles of stones scattered around.  The strong tides also means there are three lighthouses to protect shipping as this area is an important hub for coastal traffic.
