Bridport is located on the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site. Also in the vicinity is Chesil Beach, one of the major shingle beaches in the country.
The town of Bridport dates back to at least the 13th century, when its parish church of St Mary was founded. The town established itself as a fishing harbor as well as a center for rope making. Today it is a small quiet town. In 2006 the West Dorset district which it is located was named the 10th best place to live in the UK, according to Channel 4.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
