Redlands Farm

Redlands residents can either walk into Weymouth - a mile and a half away - or hop aboard one of the local buses that pass the site every ten minutes. It’s a classic seaside resort, with a great sandy beach, three-mile prom, donkeys, Punch and Judy, pedaloes and the like, plus a sea life park, theatre and cinema. There are good sporting facilities too, including an indoor pool, bowling alley, tennis and golf, plus deep sea fishing trips from the busy harbour. From here, visitors can also take a trip over to the Channel Islands on one of the local ferries. Portland, six miles from Redlands, was the venue for the Olympic and Paralympic sailing events, with sailing and windsurfing schools as well as regular spectator events. Kite surfing and scuba diving are also on offer in the area. The countryside around the campsite is good for walking, and there’s an RSPB nature reserve about a mile up the road.
