Welcome to Waterloo

Waterloo is a small village located in the county of Dorset, England. The village is situated on the outskirts of the town of Weymouth and is known for its beautiful countryside and stunning views of the English Channel. The village is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Waterloo Tower, which was built in the early 19th century and offers panoramic views of the surrounding area.

One of the main attractions of Waterloo is its proximity to the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that stretches for 95 miles along the coast of Dorset and East Devon. The Jurassic Coast is famous for its stunning cliffs, rock formations, and fossils, and is a popular destination for hikers, fossil hunters, and nature lovers. Visitors to Waterloo can explore the coast on foot or by boat, and can also visit nearby attractions such as the Durdle Door, a natural limestone arch that is one of the most photographed landmarks in the area.

Waterloo is also home to a number of local businesses, including pubs, restaurants, and shops. The village has a strong sense of community, and residents and visitors alike can enjoy a range of events and activities throughout the year, including music festivals, food fairs, and sporting events. Whether you are looking for a peaceful retreat in the countryside or an action-packed adventure on the coast, Waterloo Dorset has something to offer everyone.
