The Isle of Portland is a dramatic limestone peninsula jutting into the English Channel, connected to the mainland by Chesil Beach — an extraordinary 18-mile bank of graded pebbles. Portland Bill lighthouse marks the southern tip, where fierce tidal races create spectacular seas. The island's quarries supplied the stone for St Paul's Cathedral and the UN headquarters, and today Portland Harbour — built as a Victorian naval base — is a world-class sailing venue that hosted the 2012 Olympic sailing events.
