Portesham

Portesham is situated between Weymouth, Bournemouth and Dorchester as the main towns on Britain's Southern Coast. Nearby towns include Abbotsbury and Blackdown which is home to Hardy's Monument, errected in honour of one of Lord Nelson's commanders from Trafalgar. Many believe that Nelson famously said to Hardy "kiss me Hardy". Howver this was probably not so. It is more likely that his words were "kismet Hardy", meaning "Fate, Hardy". Portesham is also in walking distance of the Jurassic Coast.
