Portesham is a sought after village located just 6 miles from Weymouth and 6 miles from Dorchester. Chesil beach, the Jurassic Coast world heritage site is just 2 short miles away. The village is most famous for its ties with Admiral Thomas Hardy, one of Lord Nelsons commanders at the Battle of Trafalgar. He was born near the village and spent most of his childhood years there. He returned to live in Portesham House in his later years and is now commemorated by the Hardy Monument which towers over the village at 21 meters tall. Portesham is the home of a well regarded public house known as ‘The Kings Arms’. The pub has been recently refurbished and often holds local events for community members to enjoy.
