Jurassic Skyline

Jurassic Skyline is an observation tower in Weymouth with a glass-fronted structure and a rotating gondola at the top. The gondola rotates fully to provide views of the English Channel, Portland Harbor, and Weymouth's coastline.

The tower was built in the early 2010s and became a new landmark for the coastal town. It was developed as a visitor attraction to introduce people to the geological history of the region.

The structure connects visitors with the geological heritage of the Jurassic Coast through educational materials and elevated perspectives. From here, you can understand how the landscape formed over millions of years.

Visitors should choose clear days to enjoy the best distant views, as fog or rain can significantly limit visibility. The entry point is easy to reach and wait times are usually short, especially outside holiday periods.

The structure was originally planned as a temporary installation but quickly gained popularity with tourists and local visitors. This led to it becoming a permanent feature of Weymouth's skyline.
