Bridport

Bridport is a historic market town that used to be famous for its ropemaking. It has grown in popularity in recent years due to its association with TVs River Cottage and its reputation for fine local produce and award winning restaurants.

The town has a twice weekly street market and is noted for its wide selection of independent retailers. It boasts a greengrocer, fishmonger and numerous fine butchers.

The town is the gateway to the Jurassic coast at West Bay, a picturesque harbour some 5 minutes drive from the town centre.

The town lies within easy reach of the County town of Dorchester, Chesil Beach, Weymouth, Lyme Regis and Axminster across the border in Devon.
