Rodwell, a coastal suburb, breathes the briny air of Dorset. It lies 0.7 km west-south-west of Weymouth (from Weymouth: bearing 242°T, OS grid SY 672 783). The gentle incline of its streets offers glimpses of the pale, shifting sea, a constant companion to the brickwork and gardens. Once a place of oyster beds and bustling maritime trade, the legacy of its watery past still whispers on the breeze, a subtle tang that mingles with the scent of honeysuckle in summer. The houses, a mix of Victorian terraces and more modern dwellings, often sport cheerful splashes of colour, mirroring the vibrant hues of the fishing boats that still bob in the nearby harbour. Even the pavement stones seem to absorb the pearlescent light that frequently washes over the landscape.
