Holway is a small residential area on the northern edge of Weymouth in Dorset, built largely in the mid‑20th century on land that was once agricultural. It sits within easy reach of the coast and the famous Jurassic Coast, while the surrounding countryside gives a semi‑rural feel despite being close to town amenities.
The neighbourhood is largely mixed‑tenure housing with local shops, schools and community facilities serving residents; many people work locally or commute into Weymouth and nearby Dorchester. Over the years it has seen typical social and regeneration initiatives and retains a community focus with sports clubs, volunteer groups and easy access to the region’s coastal attractions.
