Nothe Gardens is a public garden, located in Weymouth, Dorset, England. Positioned on the Nothe Peninsula overlooking both Weymouth and Portland harbours, the informal gardens are often acclaimed to be the most beautiful the borough has to offer. The gardens include Nothe Fort, built in 1872 to protect Portland's harbour, and today a museum and tourist attraction. On the coast below the gardens are Stone Pier at the entrance to Weymouth Harbour and Newton's Cove on the other side.
