At the westerly end of the great shingle curve of Chesil Bank lies West Bay, once known as Bridport Harbour. The views from here are remarkable – to the west, Golden Cap (goal of many an enthusiastic walker); to the east, the grey of restless Fuller’s earth, slipping to the shore.
Bridport itself is founded on the cardinals of West, East and South Streets. South Street was where Saxon dwellings stood; East and West Street became, in the 13th century, the focus for the rope and net-working industry which brought wealth and the long narrow rope-walks.
The centre of Bridport in now dominated by the Georgian Town Hall, built in 1786 as the Market House, complete with butchers stalls. The medieval Chantry House also attracts much curiosity for its history. Bridport is a hospitable place, welcoming walkers, swimmers, fishermen and all who enjoy Dorset’s varied and beautiful coastline.
