There’s a reason why so many people love coming to the Bridport and West Bay area for their holiday.
With World Heritage status, the Dorset Jurassic Coast is renowned for its natural beauty and pre-historic geology.
Bridport is a thriving market town just a short 10 minute stroll from Southfield. Wide streets with lots of independent shops, cafes and pubs to discover.
In the other direction in West Bay, you can spend your days crabbing at the side of the fishing harbour, relaxing on the beach or walking along the striking cliff tops.
There are so many things to do during your holiday and here are just some ideas to help you start planning your time away in West Dorset.
