SUNDAY LUNCH AT THE COVE HOUSE - CHESIL BEACH

Something I didn't know till recently is that Chesil Beach or Chesil Bank as it is sometimes referred to is one of three shingle structures in Britain. And the size of the chert and flint shingle varies from pea sized to orange sized from one end of the beach to the other stretching 18 miles to the Abbotsbury swannery (going to the swannery tomorrow). It is said that "the beach provides shelter from the prevailing winds and waves for the town of Weymouth and the village of Chiswell, which would otherwise probably not exist."

Anywho ... we boarded a local bus to Portland and to The Cove House (circled in black) for Sunday lunch - a very special place on Chesil Beach.
