Bridport

Bridport

This charming market town on the West Dorset Jurassic Coast is a magnet for anyone who values an old-fashioned approach to shopping and exploring, with many independent family businesses, artists’ studios, cafes and restaurants to see.

Wednesdays and especially Saturdays are the best time to visit, when the wide main streets are lined with market stalls selling everything from local fresh produce via hand-made crafts to CDs, LP’s computer and phone accessories. Live music is often performed in Bucky Doo Square, the cobbled area by the Town Hall – just right for listening from a pavement table as you enjoy coffee and cake on a sunny morning.
