Morcombelake is a small hamlet in west Dorset, England, situated a short distance inland from the dramatic cliffs of the Jurassic Coast and within easy reach of the highest point on the south coast at Golden Cap. Its location makes it a handy base for coastal walks and for people interested in the local geology and fossil-hunting that draw visitors to the area.
Historically agricultural, the settlement now combines farming with a modest tourism economy - holiday cottages, walkers and coastal visitors - while retaining a quiet rural community feel. Nearby towns such as Bridport and Lyme Regis provide shops and services, leaving Morcombelake as a peaceful spot valued for countryside lanes, stone buildings and easy access to the coast.
