What a beautiful place this is. We have now been several times both to here and Lodmoor. There are different habitats, each yielding great views of a variety of wildlife.

Right in the middle off Weymouth, I've lived on all sides of it, walked my dogs there, taken my girlfriends there when I was a lot younger though maybe not to feed the ducks, and recently taken my children there.

All birdwatchers and twitchers already know the significance of the RSPB Radipole reserve, but if you are new to birdwatching this is a great place to start the hobby. Conveniently close to the centre of Weymouth, with a large car park. The helpful and knowledgeable staff are happy to help with identification from the comfort of the water-front visitor centre/shop.... More

As with most things in Weymouth, where I live, theres always a feeling of "good but could be better".
