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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We visited three hostelries in Bridport. First stop was “The Pursuit of Hoppiness”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, no visit to Bridport would be complete without a visit to one of the local brewery “Palmers” pubs – The Ropemaker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
