cape (geography), headland
The area gets its name due to the shape of Portland.
When viewed sideways on from North to South, Portland looks like the head of a bird. The Bill resembles the bird's bill.
3 Lighthouses have been built here over time. Sea fishing is still carried out here, with the small crane lowering boats in to the English Channel
