Bridport Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on a charming street in the heart of Bridport, this little museum is a proper treasure trove. It feels less like a formal institution and more like popping into the town's wonderfully cluttered attic, where every object has a story to tell. You can easily lose an hour just marveling at the intricate rope and net samples that made this place famous. It’s the perfect rainy-day escape, packed with local character.
Collection Highlights
The displays on the town's historic rope-making trade are fascinating, with all sorts of tools and samples. Look out for the quirky 'Biddy' token coinage and relics from the local Roman settlement.
Visitor Information
It's right on South Street, so it's dead easy to find. Best to check their website for current opening times as they can be seasonal.
Architecture & Building
Housed in an unassuming but lovely old stone building that fits right in with the rest of Bridport's historic streets.
