It is well worth a visit for its Roman walls and this wonderful Minster

Situated on the Jurassic coast, it offers up a mix of history, nature and waterfront to its residents and visitors. Popular attractions include the Nothe Fort, Sandsfoot and Portland castles, and a Sealife Centre. Personally, I prefer Weymouth in the warmer months. There are plenty of walks and cycle routes to explore and swimming in the sea is free (not the parking … that is ridiculously expensive!)

Birmingham has such a great range of eateries, including a lovely little Korean restaurant in the centre called Mr Slim, family run with freshly made-to-order options (my favourite is their Kimchi pancakes called Jeon!)

It's an absolute gem and large enough to swallow all the visitors it gets so that it's always possible to find somewhere quiet and away from the crowds of Birmingham. It hosts one of the best Parkruns in the country too if you like running single loop courses.
