View prices & book 1 review

West Dorset campsite with lovely views 10 minutes’ drive from Bridport
West Bay and the South West Coast Path 15 minutes’ drive
Farm-reared meat available; choice of pubs within 15 minutes’ drive

If you’re south-west bound and inclined towards a bit of peace – with far-reaching rural views and proximity to a dramatic coastline thrown in – take a look at Askr Grange in West Dorset. You’ll have all the quiet and solitude you need on a family-run farm, with very little but fields of grazing sheep for miles around, and yet the site is only 15 minutes’ drive from West Bay and the Jurassic Coast for beach days and coastal walks. The farm is accessed via quiet country lanes, and once on site, you’ll have spectacular views across Dorset countryside wherever you look. If you run short of goodies for the barbecue, pick up farm-reared meat from the owners and visit the convenience store at the Pineapple Estate (three minutes by car) for basics. If you’d rather have someone else do the hard-graft cooking for you, there are several pubs within 15 minutes’ drive, serving anything from pizza to award-winning fine dining. If you run into problems or have any questions while you’re there, just ask Luke – the farm has been in his family for three generations so he knows his onions, and he’ll almost certainly be able to help you out with sightseeing advice too.

Local attractions

Lively Bridport (10 minutes’ drive) is the spot for browsing antique shops, or bric-a-brac at the twice-weekly market (Wednesday and Saturday). If you’re travelling with kids, take them to Weymouth (45 minutes) to tour aquariums full of colourful fish at the SEA LIFE Centre and see ornate sand sculptures in Sandworld Weymouth. You can access the South West Coast Path in West Bay (15 minutes) for long-distance hikes along Dorset’s photogenic coastline, or venture south-east to scrunch along the shingle at Chesil Beach (40 minutes). Other seaside options include Charmouth (half an hour), where you can hunt for dinosaur fossils and climb to the top of Golden Cap cliffs for views along the Jurassic Coast. To get a taste for local Dorset produce, tour the original thatched premises at Palmers Brewery (10 minutes) and sample their cask ales, or try the brews at Dorset Nectar Cider, where you can also have a meander around the orchards. The owners at Furleigh Estate vineyards (both five minutes) produce sparkling wine and run tours from Thursday to Saturday.
