2 looks to be the remains of an old plateway but as for it's location? A quick look online for Dorset Plateway came up with one in Middlebere, Purbeck but that seems too distant from where you were exploring so instead, I'll take a punt at it being on Portland.

There are so MANY pictures in this set ... I think a second guess within the 24 hours is reasonable, especially if the first one was the station steps in Weymouth  |

If the second guess is permitted then
20 is track remaining between Yeovil Pen Mill and the old Yeovil Town stations, approximately near the GWR▸ engine shed that was once here.

Thanks for the derogation on the usual rules Grahame - I think 11 is Sandsfoot Castle seen from the footpath that runs along the old track bed of the Portland branch in the Wyke part of Weymouth.

Ah, beaten to it but I have to agree. The Zwings website lists Yeovil as one of their locations and their next nearest locations are a little too far away. |

The quarry tramways of Portland are well worth a day exploring. The late Brian Jackson produced an OPC book on them. There are the inclines, tunnels under modern roads and one place where a line to the weares, where stone was dumped over the cliff goes under another line passing over it.
