A short stay in Bridport (22 Oct 2025) to meet my friend from Lyme Regis for a few afternoon beers. I booked “Ernie’s plot”, some 30 minute walk from the centre of town along a quiet road with a pavement.
“Ernie’s plot” is a Caravan and Motorhome Club CL site with five pitches and two toilet facilities, each kitted out with a wash-basin, toilet and shower. It was easy to book – Nic was very helpful – and I paid via Bank Transfer.
The weather was nice for the walk in but by early evening the heavens had opened and it was a particularly wet evening and night. Fortunately I caught the last bus from Bridport which stops close to “Ernie’s”.
We visited three hostelries in Bridport. First stop was “The Pursuit of Hoppiness”.
Second on the list was “The Woodman” which is a cosy independent and friendly pub with a focus on quality beers and ciders. In 2024 it won the Regional Pub of the Year – Wessex.
Finally, no visit to Bridport would be complete without a visit to one of the local brewery “Palmers” pubs – The Ropemaker.
