More about this scene
Castleton, Fortuneswell and Chesil now form the largest urban settlement at the point where the Isle meets the causeway from the mainland - seen so clearly in this photograph. Portland's naval base, which was situated in the sheltered waters between the Isle and the mainland, closed in the 1990s.
