Bridport – 8 Quirky Facts
- Old Rope
Bridport was once the rope making centre of the UK. Thanks to demand from Britain’s ever-growing army, navy, fishing vessels and cargo fleets, Bridport was a bustling town and centre for commerce and employment. - Bridport & Hardy
The town is given the name of ‘Port Bredy’ in Thomas Hardy novels and also features in his story Fellow-Townsmen. - Minted
Along with Dorchester, Shaftesbury and Wareham, Bridport was one of most important settlements during King Alfred the Great’s reign. The town had strong fortifications and also a royal mint. - Mad Hatters
Despite its diminutive stature, Bridport has a number of annual festivals including a literary festival, food festival, beer festival and even a hat festival. - Buckydoo
The small square in the centre of the town is named Buckydoo Square, there seems to be no exact history as to how the square got its name with conflicting reasons given. Nevertheless, there are perhaps few squares in England with such a charming name. - Cavalier

About Bridport
Bridport has an rich history, the town has been rather regal over the years. Charles II stayed here (hiding from Cromwell’s troops) and King Alfred fortified it and made it one of his major burghs. King John gave the town its charter and ‘Brideport’ also features in the Doomsday Book.
Today it’s a funky, forward thinking market town with plenty of independent, ethically minded, eco-friendly stores. There are a number of local events through the year encompassing arts, literature, food and drink.
Surrounded by picturesque countryside, great pubs and restaurants and with a high number of listed buildings, Bridport is a wonderful town to call home.
Leisure
Small but mighty, for town of its size Bridport offers so much to see and do. There is an art centre, theatre, library, cinema and an excellent museum. Foodies are spoilt for choice with an abundance of independent producers and stores, farm shops, a food festival, beer festival, wine store, and even a local brewery.
If you’re looking to burn off the calories, there are a number of local clubs and societies to socialise, get fit or learn a new skill. And with no end of country walks, coastal paths and cycle routes, you really can get out and about to enjoy the Dorset air.
Transport

The nearest train station at Maiden Newton (12 miles by car) has direct services to Bristol, Bath and London (Paddington).
