The Dorset town also boasts one of the best beaches in Europe, according to TripAdvisor
The 'most beautiful' seaside town in the UK, featuring the 'prettiest' beach in England, has been named. Weymouth, a delightful British seaside town, is home to one of Europe's top beaches, according to TripAdvisor.
These days, the Dorset town, which has around 53,000 residents, shows off its colourful historic houses alongside the scenic harbour. Tourism has always been key for Weymouth, and TripAdvisor rated its beach the only British beach in the top 25 worldwide last year. The Times recently described the sandy shores as having the "prettiest urban backdrop to any beach in the country", reports the Mirror.
George III first visited the area in 1789, 29 years into his six-decade-long reign. He visited fourteen times in total, historians say.
