Lovely views to sit and admire. You can see Portland clearly and it's harbour. Because of the Covid 19 virus, there were up to 10 cruise ships anchored about 5 miles out into the bay, so lovely to view. The gardens are lovely for all the family to come to. There is a play area with swings etc., plenty of seats, large grass areas, walks around to the southern bay of Newton's Cove one way and the stone pier via the rocks. It's a little steep in places, but plenty of pathways to take you all the way up or down the area.

No the gardens are just a 20min walk from the Town Centre. They have stunning views and link well with the coast path taking you round to Chisel Beach. Gardens have plenty of shade but hilly for the less able.

We decided to have a walk around Nothe Gardens while walking from our holiday accomodation to town. There are various paths so if you have a pushchair or wheelchair you will have to plan your route. There are various wooden sculptures around the gardens and a nice view out to sea. A nice pleasant walk.

Weymouth is the most anti-dog town I have ever visited. The Nothe Gardens is the biggest green space in central Weymouth with the coast path running through it and dogs must be on leads. You can let your dog off lead on the plastic strewn, crowded corner of the beach that passes as a dog beach but do look out for broken glass as we found lots.
It's a If you want to exercise your dog off lead then go elsewhere on holiday. Weymouth is a rubbish place to go for dog owners.

There's plenty to enjoy in Nothe Gardens - great views across to Portland and along the Jurassic coast, play equipment for kids and plenty of paths to explore. Plus it's all close to the harbour so walkable really from wherever you are in Weymouth.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stroll through the gardens taking in views of Weymouth, the harbour, Portland and the fort sadly closed due to Coronavirus.

The gardens were very pretty for a short walk. We went along the nature trail which was really lovely and brings you out along the shore, with beautiful views across to Portland. They have a park there that looks good for kids and there are a lot of squirrels about!

Built during at the time when Gladstone was PM as a defence against the French. The Nothe fort reconstructs history in the ways that it was important especially in the 2nd world war. It gives a true insight into the past.

The gardens are outside NOTHE FORT. Plenty of parking at the top of the hill. The Fort is open on Sunday's out of season. Really worth a visit too. Good cafe in the Fort. In season there is a cafe on the approach road to the Fort and gardens parking area. Fantastic views of Weymouth Bay and towards Portland Bill on the other side.

I can you tell me if Nothe Gardens are part of Nothe Fort? I think what I'm really asking is are the gardens free or part of the admission fee for the Fort?
We're going to Weymouth this Friday for hubby's bday & looking for things to do on a budget,
Thanks Christine

The gardens are free to walk around - the Fort has an entrance fee. The gardens are pleasant well kept, seats to relax on.
