The little train ride from Bath Spa station to Weymouth is absolute heaven. It is a small little train, two or three coaches and it takes about two hours, stopping in nice country villages along the way and with some fantastic countryside.

The little train goes through villages like Freshford, Bradford on Avon, Yeovil, Westbury, and you have to put your hand out if you want the train to stop in some places. There are about 16 stops in the two hours but it is such a gentle, relaxing journey you don't mind.

And there is a regular service. A good one to get is the 10.03am from Bath Spa, it gets to Weymouth at 12.06pm, perfect, just in time for lunch.

Or if you want to go earlier you can get the 9am which gets in around 11am. The station in Weymouth is about two minutes from the beach, you are right there, and it is a beautiful bay.
