The quaint market town of Bridport rests 1.5 miles inland from the English Channel and has a heritage associated with the production of rope and nets for ships dating back to 1211. Within the town’s boundaries is Bridport Harbour, a small harbour settlement that was later renamed to West Bay in an attempt to promote it as a resort. Bridport Beach stretches along the coastline of West Bay, and plays home to a selection of shops, pubs and restaurants.
