Bradpole is a small village and civil parish just north of Bridport in west Dorset, England. It sits on gentle slopes above the valley of the River Brit and is a short drive from the Jurassic Coast, combining rolling countryside with easy coastal access. The parish retains a medieval church and a cluster of traditional cottages and listed buildings that hint at its long rural past.
Historically the community has been closely tied to the market town of Bridport and its rope- and net-making trades, while farming and small-scale market gardening have remained important. Today Bradpole has a quietly active village life centred on the church and village hall, and is popular with people seeking a peaceful base for work in nearby towns or for exploring Dorset’s coastline and walking country.
