Directions to Furzy Cliff: From Weymouth town centre, Furzy Cliff is about 2miles. It is a pleasant walk or short drive along the seafront which becomes the B3155. As the B3155/Preston Road heads inland take the turning to the right, Bowleaze Coveway, signposted Bowleaze Cove.
From villages and towns to the East come along the A353 through Preston. At the roundabout in Preston take the first exit, B3155 towards Overcombe. Just before the road reaches the sea, turn right onto Bowleaze Coveway, signposted Bowleaze Cove.
The Embassy will be parked on the right-hand side near The Lookout Cafe.
