Description

Dysart Harbour is an early 17th century tidal basin that features a wet dock added in 1831 and was restored in 1967. The harbour is roughly U-shaped, with the mouth facing south at the rounded end and a slipway to the north. The western arm has jetties that project to the west and northwest, creating the entrance to an almost rhomboidal wet dock located at the northwest. The eastern pier has a high ashlar sea wall on the southeast side. The harbour walls are primarily constructed of ashlar stone, with some sections built in vertical courses, and the slipways are made of stone sets.

Local climate

Dysart Harbour receives an average of 900 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 67% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 54% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 27 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 71% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
