"Carved by time out of a single stone"
was how Thomas Hardy described the Isle of Portland in the preface to his novel 'The Well Beloved'. Often referred to as an island and jutting out from the mainland connected only by the great sweep of the famous Chesil Bank, Portland has become hugely popular for an abundant of activities.
