What makes Half-Day Guided E-Bike Tour Portland with Brunch a unique experience ?
Portland Castle is the starting and finishing point and participants can either explore before or after the tour. You can walk around castle or go in and explore.
Portland Bill Lighthouse has been standing majestically for the past one hundred and fourteen years at a height of 41 metres (135 ft). The distinctive red and white tower first shone its famous four flashes of light every twenty seconds on 11 January 1906 and had a range of 25 nautical miles which has guided passing vessels through the hazardous waters around Portland Bill as well as acting as a way mark for ships navigating the English Channel. You will be able to walk around or enter the lighthouse during the stop.
Tout Quarry Nature Reserve and Sculpture Park is an abandoned stone quarry which has now been turned into a stone sculpture park. Now one of Portland’s most popular attractions, you can discover over 60 hidden sculptures in the Quarry, such as Anthony Gormley’s ‘Still Falling’ sculpture and enjoy the stunning views over Chesil Beach and Portland Harbour. The park is also a haven for nature especially for those with a love of wild flowers and butterflies. You can walk around and take lovely pictures.
Rufus Castle, also known as Bow and Arrow Castle, is a partially ruined castle overlooking Church Ope Cove on Portland, England. Its name derives from King William II, known as William Rufus, for whom the original castle was built.The existing structure dates largely from the late 15th century, making it Portland’s oldest castle. Built on a pinnacle of rock, some of the original structure has been lost to erosion and collapse over the years. At this stop you can walk around and enjoy the lovely scenery and we will also have lunch.
Cave Hole is a large cave on the south east side of the Isle of Portland, a large peninsular in Dorset, England. It has a blowhole and a wooden crane, known as Broad Ope Crane on the cliff top. It is 1⁄2 mile (800 m) north-east of Portland Bill, has an interior measuring 50 feet (15 m) square and 21 feet (6.4 m) high. At this stop you can walk around and if lucky see the see water blown through the blowhole.
