Day255
8. West Bay
June 23, 2021 in the United Kingdom ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
West Bay, also known as Bridport Harbour, is situated 1.5 miles south of Bridport at the mouth of the River Brit. It is a small town that developed as a result of rope and net trade from Bridport, but this declined and it then developed as a resort due to the (now disused) railway station there. It forms the western end of Chesil Beach which extends from Portland Bill 18 miles to the east and is famed for its towering, crumbling, golden cliffs - it was been used as the location for the TV series "Broadchuch" (which is excellent).

We are staying in an apartment here and, after exploring the attractive town (harbour and harbour walls, church etc) set off on a circular walk to nearby Burton Bradstock. We skirt the Bridport and West Dorset Golf Couse and a static caravan / camping site (there are several of these in the area) to reach Burton, before heading down to Hive Beach for lunch. We walk back along the top of Burton Cliffs, then via Burton Freshwater (where the small River Bride meets the sea) and finally along the top of East Cliff back to West Bay to enjoy some local beer (Palmers, which is brewed in Bridport).Read more

Day255
Bridport
June 20, 2021 in the United Kingdom ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Bridport is a small, but very attractive market town. We cross the River Brit, on our way back from a walk to Lower Eype, to reach St Mary's Parish Church and then walk up South Street to get to the Town Hall (both Grade 1 listed buildings) - the town hall is situated on the curiously named Buckydoo Square.

We walk up East Street and cross the River Asker, a tributary of the Brit, and walk down though Asker's Meadow crossing back over the river close to its confluence with the Brit, to walk back up to the church.

We head south alongside the River Brit and see Palmer"s Brewery - which was established in 1794 and is one of Britain's oldest and prettiest brewery sites - before following the Hardy Way back down to the coast and West Bay.Read more

Day21
Dorset Coast day 21 Sun 13 May 2018
May 13, 2018 in the United Kingdom ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Full breakfast at 8am, Drove to West Bay in Dorset. All day parking for two pounds. Walked west to Eype over the cliff tops and continued on to Golden Cap past the Thorncombe Beacon and through Seatown along the South West Coast path. Ate well traveled chocolate biscuits and fruit enjoying the view from Golden Cap. Returned to Seatown via Langdon Hill for beer at the Anchor pub. Afterwards walked back to West Beach and eastward along the coast path till we overlooked a Freshwater Beach backed by mobile portable holiday buildings near Burton Bradstock. Drove to Chideok and bought dessert items, then had dinner at the George Hotel just down the road from Neitherleigh Bed & Breakfast.Read more

Decided on a bike ride today but the Dorset hills were proving a bit much for us so we stopped in the car park at Cogden and soaked up a bit of sun before free wheeling back down the hill to Burton Bradstock.Read more

If you walk to the cliffs from the campsite ⛺️ and look out to sea on your left is West Bay and on your right is Eype beach which is a short stroll down the path but a bit more effort is needed to get back up the hill.🤨Read more
