The famed market town of Bridport with its harbour at West Bay, famous as the setting for the television series Broadchurch, is the perfect base from which to explore Dorset's coast and countryside. Bridport is also home to a lively street market, twice a week and has an active Art Centre as well as The Electric Palace, cinema, theatre and concert Hall, an independent entertainment venue offering music, comedy and theatre. The coastal fishing port of West Bay with its beach and harbour can be reached easily via a footpath along the riverbank. The whole of the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, including the lovely seaside town of Lyme Regis is a short drive away. The famed village of Abbotsbury with its swannery is a few minutes' drive from Bridport and the very popular Hive Beach Café at Burton Bradstock is a must visit. The 18-mile-long Chesil beach, which runs from Portland to West Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is very nearby and offers dramatic scenery. The South West Coast Path can be directly accessed from West Bay.

The local area
The attractive Georgian market town of Bridport, set in the heart of Dorset’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is renowned for its abundance of independent shops and art galleries, thriving cafés, bars and restaurants serving exceptional locally produced food and drink, and its lively music, art and literary scene.
Whether you enjoy spending your holiday browsing market stalls and quirky shops, indulging in a mouth-watering cream tea, or people-watching over a leisurely coffee – this charming town won’t disappoint.
Less than 2 miles away lies Bridport’s picturesque harbour, West Bay, which offers access to the world-famous Jurassic Coast. Here, you’ll find an assortment of pubs and restaurants, two excellent sandy beaches, a marina, and of course breathtaking coastal views.
If you’re feeling active, West Bay is perfect for a spot of fishing, walking, bathing and rock pooling. Or if you’d rather take it easy, unwind over tea and cake in one of the harbour’s delightful tea rooms. West Bay is also the setting for the popular ITV drama Broadchurch, where you will recognise many landmarks from the show.
Bridport and West Bay are ideally positioned for exploring the stunning Jurassic coastline. Why not try your luck at fossil hunting to see if you can uncover an ancient relic or two, or take a stroll along the glorious South West Coast Path to blow away the cobwebs and take in the magnificent views.
Nearby popular attractions include the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre, Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens and the Lyme Regis Aquarium, and if you fancy a day at the beach, you'll be spoilt for choice on this pretty stretch of Dorset coastline. Some of our favourite family-friendly options include both West Bay beaches, Cobb beach in Lyme Regis, Charmouth beach and Weymouth beach.
A holiday cottage in either Bridport or West Bay provides the perfect base from which to enjoy the delights of a vibrant market town, whilst staying close to the coast to easily indulge in your favourite seaside activities – making for a most memorable Dorset holiday.
