1. Bridport Market
Bridport is a bustling Market Town, and has been one since 1253. In fact, the “port” in the town’s name actually refers to the market – a trading port rather than a seaport. Today, the town’s market is a twice-weekly event held on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Taking over the town’s three main streets, the market has over a hundred stalls selling pretty much everything you can think of. On Saturdays, there are also many bric-a-brac and antiques stalls found along lower South Street.
2. West Bay
Although technically a separate village, West Bay feels almost a part of Bridport. In fact, it’s sometimes known as Bridport Harbour. This small seaside village is centred around a busy harbour, with a sheltered sand-and-shingle beach on the famous Jurassic Coast. The beach is overlooked by the dramatic, golden form of the towering East Cliff. Looks familiar? The cliffs, town, and surrounding area were used as the filming location for the British drama series Broadchurch. If you want to make...
3. Palmers Brewery
Palmers Brewery has been brewing fine cask ales in Bridport, Dorset since 1794. Today, they have 53 pubs across the South West. Their ales are still brewed in the original thatched brewery, one of the oldest in the UK, so a tour of the brewery is a fascinating glimpse into the age-old process of English brewing. Tours last two hours and run daily from Easter to October at 11am Monday to Friday. RELATED POST: 15 Fantastic Dorset Breweries you can Visit
