      @strongylodon I've always wondered what all those huts (pic 3) are doing there, as it seems a really odd place for beach huts on top of a cliff.

      We were there last year on a rather breezy day

        It's purely the location and there are around 300 of them, the sun and the sound of the sea.
        Oh and the 80mph gales! Having moved away from Weymouth we don't do our regular walks there anymore, just the occasional visit although it is only 30 miles away.:blue thumb:

        My son last year.
        Weymouth is our favourite place to holiday and the Bill is always on our list of visits.
        Have any others stood atop the Pulpit Rock?
