The area around Bridport.
Bridport is a west Dorset market town with a long history of rope and net making, and its wide streets were once used to dry the ropes. Today it is known for its twice-weekly street market, its independent shops and food scene, and the harbour at West Bay just to the south. Its population includes many incomers and second-home owners, alongside farming families. A website with some character suits the independent culture, while trades should name West Bay, Symondsbury and the surrounding villages.
