点评:We had a fantastic day at Portland Bill. It is a great place to watch waves, sea birds, boats and anything else that passes by in the sea. It is a very peaceful area, even though it was quite busy when we went, the area is quite large so it didn't feel crowded.
There is a restaurant, which you can reserve tables for (recommended as it was fully booked when we went), there is also an outdoor café which serves some hot food, hot and cold drinks, and ice creams. You can also get scones with jam and cream to takeaway from here. They offered oat milk to have with coffee if you want a dairy free alternative. You can also get dog ice cream.
The surrounding area is beautiful, there are a lot of huge rocks for kids to scramble up, which they loved doing. The view is spectacular in all directions.
You can access the lighthouse gift shop for free but a tour of the lighthouse is for a small fee. There is a bus which stops in the car park, and parking charges apply if you drive here yourself. The drive up to the Portland Bill is very steep, in case you were considering cycling or walking up.
There are toilets near the lighthouse for visitors to use.
Things to note:
1. Take coats in case of windy weather, as the whole area is very exposed and I imagine the weather can change quite quickly. We went on a very hot day, but even we felt the chill from the wind and sea breeze.
2. The ground is very uneven in places, so take if you are unsteady on your feet, or keep an eye on very young children. There are large gaps between some of the rocks if you want to get nearer to the sea. But the path itself is flatter to walk on.
3. There is nothing to stop you between land and sea, something to keep in mind if you have young children who might run off. The rocks look fun to climb on, but some of them are very close to the edge.
4. The area is dog friendly, except for the lighthouse.
翻译:我们在波特兰比尔度过了美好的一天。这里是观赏海浪、海鸟、船只以及其他海中游动的生物的绝佳地点。这里非常宁静,虽然我们去的时候人很多,但因为场地很大,所以感觉并不拥挤。
这里有一家餐厅,可以预订座位(推荐预订,因为我们去的时候已经订满了),还有一家露天咖啡馆,供应热食、冷热饮品和冰淇淋。你还可以外带烤饼配果酱和奶油。如果你想要不含乳制品的咖啡,他们还提供燕麦奶。你还可以买到狗狗冰淇淋。
周围环境优美,有很多巨大的岩石供孩子们攀爬,他们非常喜欢。四面八方的景色都令人叹为观止。
你可以免费进入灯塔礼品店,但参观灯塔需要支付少量费用。停车场有巴士停靠,如果你自驾前往,则需要支付停车费。如果您打算骑自行车或步行前往波特兰比尔,路途非常陡峭。
灯塔附近设有供游客使用的厕所。
注意事项:
1. 为防风,请携带外套,因为整个区域非常暴露,而且我猜天气变化很快。我们去的那天非常炎热,但即使如此,我们也感受到了风和海风带来的凉意。
2. 地面有些地方非常不平坦,所以如果您脚步不稳,请走上坡路,或者照看年幼的孩子。如果您想靠近大海,一些岩石之间有很大的缝隙。但这条路本身比较平坦,更容易行走。
3. 陆地和海洋之间没有任何东西可以阻挡您,如果您有年幼的孩子,请务必注意,他们可能会跑走。攀爬岩石看起来很有趣,但有些岩石非常靠近边缘。
4. 除灯塔外,该地区允许携带宠物狗。
