A pretty market town close to the Jurassic coastline of East Devon, Bridport was renowned for its rope making and still produces twine and nets today for, amongst others, football goals and Wimbledon’s tennis nets! Stroll Bridport’s wide streets and enjoy more than 1000 listed buildings and the golden sands just down the road at West Bay. With snug pubs and eateries, picturesque, historic and within easy reach of both gorgeous coast and countryside Bridport is an ideal location for a cottage holiday in rural Dorset.
Enjoy music, theatre, and family events at Bridport Arts Centre or head just out of town to Bridport Golf Club with its stunning cliff top greens and fairways. The spectacular coastline close to Bridport includes famous Chesil Beach and there are many wonderful way marked walks all along the coast and further inland too. Fishing and scuba diving are also popular here – hire a boat for either of these activities at bustling West Bay harbour.
