April 25, 2022 Christa Meece

Bridport is a market town in Dorset, England, situated approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) inland from the English Channel near the confluence of the small River Brit and its tributary the Asker. Its origins are Saxon and it has a long history as a rope-making centre, though many of its buildings date from the 18th century.

Church of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs and St. Ignatius

Reviewed By tonyh4949 - Wolverhampton, United Kingdom

We came upon this museum almost by chance. The church is just out of Chideock off A35 (be patient with signage) with a small car park. Beautiful building in a serene location which belies the history of Catholic persecution. The museum is in a small anteroom accessed from inside the church. It was simply amazing - full of local history, artefacts, photos, exhibits, etc and with an incredibly informative story of the history of local Catholicism. We were absolutely blown away - not professionally curated but all the better for that. Don't miss it!

Eype Centre for the Arts

Consecrated in 1865, St. Peter's Church is situated on the hill above Eype, looking out over Lyme Bay. In 2003, it was reordered and opened as an Arts Centre. As well as weekly church services (6.30pm summer, 3pm winter), it is open for many Arts events, including Exhibitions and Concerts. Details of these are on Facebook. When nothing is scheduled, visitors are welcomed 2-5pm on Saturdays.

Lovely little church that regularly hosts art exhibitions. The church is still used as a church and offers a great location for exhibitions by locally based professional and amateur artists. Have visited the art exhibitions many times, but sadly no art exhibitions on when we visited this time, because of covid 19. There is car parking and lovely views over the surrounding countryside.

Langdon Hill and St Gabriel's Chapel Walk

Reviewed By WestCountryGreenMan - Worthing, United Kingdom

On Monday my wife and I parked up in Langdon Hill car park and went for a walk up to Golden Cap. It starts off as a lovely wooded walk then across open fields with spectacular views across the local area and up to Golden Cap, where again you are presented with spectacular views. We didn't go down to the ruins of St Gabriel's Church but I have been down there a few times in the past when walking in the area. If you have the time, and energy, to go to St Gabriel's Church I'd recommend it.
