Burton Bradstock is a compact coastal village and civil parish on the Jurassic Coast in west Dorset, England, just a short drive from Bridport. It sits where low cliffs meet a shingle and sandy foreshore at the eastern end of Chesil Beach, so the local coastline is popular for walks, birdwatching and fossil hunting among the distinctive geology of the World Heritage coastline.
The settlement combines traditional cottages and farmed countryside with a small cluster of shops, pubs and community facilities, and retains a medieval parish church at its heart. Tourism and agriculture sit alongside everyday village life, and the place is known for its close‑knit community atmosphere, seasonal visitors and the steady stream of walkers and beachgoers drawn to the dramatic coastal scenery.
