Bridport is a market town in Dorset, England, situated approximately 1.5 miles inland from the English Channel near the confluence of the small River Brit and its tributary the Asker. Bridport origins are Saxon and it has a long history as a rope-making centre, though many of its buildings date from the 18th century.
On the coast and within the town's boundary is West Bay, a small fishing harbour previously known as Bridport Harbour. In the 21st century Bridport's arts scene has contributed to the town becoming increasingly popular with people from outside the locality. It has an arts centre, theatre, library, cinema and museum, and several annual events. It features as Port Bredy in the fictional Wessex of Thomas Hardy's novels.
Bridport is in the county of Dorset in South West England, in the West Dorset district. Measured directly, it is about 14 miles (23 km) west of the county town Dorchester, 15.5 miles (25 km) SSW of Yeovil in Somerset, 33 miles (53 km) east of Exeter in Devon and 1.5 miles (2.4 km) inland from the English Channel at West Bay.
The coast at Bridport is part of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site that covers a continuous 96 miles (154 km) of coastline in Dorset and neighbouring east Devon. All of the town is also within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a protected landscape designation of national significance. The town's most notable landmark is the conical Colmers Hill, its distinctive shape and small clump of summit trees being very noticeable from West Street. Bridport is a Met Office coastal weather observation point.
The A35 trunk road between Honiton and Southampton passes around the centre of Bridport on a bypass. Bridport railway station was closed in May 1975, along with the Bridport - Maiden Newton branch line. The nearest railway stations to Bridport are Maiden Newton, Crewkerne, Dorchester and Axminster.

Firstly, thank you for your interest in the Jurassic Coaster routes from First Wessex. We aim to provide you with a service you enjoy and all the information you need to make the most of your time in this beautiful part of the world.
The new Jurassic Coaster services for Summer 2016 start on 8 May. We have divided the two old routes into more relevant

X51 – direct from Axminster to Dorchester via Bridport
X53 – starting in Axminster it takes you to the heart of Weymouth viaBridport and the Abbotsbury Swannery
Service X51/X53 operate every 30 minutes during the day from Axminster to Lyme Regis, hourly from Bridport on to Dorchester and Dorset County Hospital and hourly along the Coast Road through Abbotsbury to Weymouth.

You can still run the entire route from Poole to Exeter should you wish. Simply change routes at Weymouth and at Lyme Regis.
For the children this year we have created a set of dinosaur
friends whose fossils have actually been found along the Jurassic Coast and can be found at various museums along the Jurassic Coaster routes.
These dinosaur friends are featured on the Jurassic Coaster leaflet and also on the buses. Maybe you would like to have your own dinosaur hunt and see them all?
For further information on where their fossils are and also activities for the children to download, visit jurassiccoasterbus.co.uk.
The Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site and features some of the most beautiful seashore landscapes in the country – if not the world. Which is why we have produced this video to show off some of the breath-taking scenery.
To maximise your experience we have also created a commentary which can be downloaded from your app store (only available on Apple and Android devices). Simply search ‘Jurassic Coaster’ in your mobile device’s app store or visit the website for details.
For further information on all the above, including a real time journey planner to take you from your current location to your chosen destination, please visit jurassiccoasterbus.co.uk.
We really hope you enjoy your experience with First Wessex on the Jurassic Coasters and thank you in advance for travelling with us.
