Nicknamed "Notting Hill on Sea", Bridport is the jewel in the crown of West Dorset. This vibrant community has a tremendous range of high quality independents centred around South Street. This road also hosts a regular market that provides a fascinating opportunity to browse for antiques and bric-a-brac, but be sure to take the weight off your feet once in a while in one of the coffee shops en route. Bridport is a highly cultural location, playing host to a yearly literary festival (but if you miss that don't worry because there are three independent bookshops open all year round!). Its arts scene has also gained a national reputation, and at certain times of the year artists studio doors are open to the public. Whatever your interests, a trip to Bridport will fascinate, entertain and relax you.
