Bridport, a charming market town built on the River Brit, with a long history of rope and net production. The flax threads were formerly twisted into rope along the long, broad avenues and passageways between the buildings, which are now lined with an interesting array of stores, restaurants, and inns. The spectacular Jurassic coast at West Bay, now a World Heritage Site is 2 miles south of Bridport, while Lyme Regis is only 10 miles away. This is an excellent location from which to explore West Dorset.
