  • Family park overlooking Lyme Bay

  • Café, bar and restaurant with vintage fire engines
Bridport’s Highlands End Holiday Park is certainly on high land, all the way up at clifftop level on Dorset’s Jurassic Coast, overlooking the spectacular blue waters of Lyme Bay and with bridleway access to the walks of the World Heritage Coast. Most uplifting. Highlands End was the first park in the West Dorset Leisure group and the team has learnt a thing or three about family holidays in the 50 or so years since: the first-class facilities here include a generously-sized heated indoor pool, sauna and steam room (available for an additional charge only). There are active options on site for all ages such as soft play (charge applies), footgolf and two play areas, plus a duck pond for gentle waterside strolls. (If you’re all of a conundrum about what to do in Dorset, make for the on-site tourist information office which has leaflets and videos on local attractions.) Eats are covered at the park bar and restaurant dishing up all sorts of homemade meals using fresh local produce (probably the only restaurant you’ll ever go to with a 1936 Leyland Fire Engine and 1902 Merryweather Steam fire engine). Too nice a day to sit inside? There’s a beer garden – and play area – out the back. From Highlands End it’s a 500-metre coastal walk to the sand and shingle beach at Eypemouth and the village of Eype, in many people's humble opinion one of the prettiest villages in Dorset (a beach hut here was listed at the sky high price of £200,000 in 2011). The bridleway near the park will also take you to Symondsbury, West Bay, and over acres of countryside and farmland, much of it maintained by the National Trust. Finally, the site team stress that although they'd love to be able to guarantee fine weather at all times, please note that pitches here are on the clifftop to make the most of the spectacular views. This can also mean that they're exposed to high winds during periods of bad weather and so it's recommend that you ensure your tent is secured well.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Well spaced pitches. Well kept area. Wonderful sea and cliff views. Good facilities. Peaceful. Walk to town and able to catch bus from there. Good steep walk down to beach. Notification of weather warning due to high winds on phone was helpful. At least it meant all pitches anchored their stuff, so less fear of having something blown into your rv.
The indoor swimming pool was lovely and the children enjoyed it.

Disliked: Restaurant on site only served curry the night we went. Children 5 and 8 could only have chicken nuggets. Not a good meal, and one curry choice was stone cold. It was pointed out to the waitress who said sorry. It was an expensive meal. Would not go to the restaurant again.
No one from the site spoke to us at all. Everything was online. Check in, confirmation of pitch etc. rather sterile. Could not say it was a friendly site. Swimming pool changing room only had 2 showers. Had to wait lengthy time to use with 2 cold wet children.

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Stunning views over the sea. Modern and clean facilities all clearly laid out and sign posted.

Disliked: Although the online checking was quick and efficient I missed the human contact. It would have been nice to be welcomed to the site - I came across one female member of staff who smiled and said hello as she emptied the bins and that was it!

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback on your recent stay with us.
We are pleased that you found the views stunning and all was clean with good signage.
We have moved to an online contactless check in for ease of use and reducing queues at reception but our team are always on hand if you need to speak to them.

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Friendly staff, very clean site including toilets, showers and grounds. Great views of the coastline that you could never get tired of. Ten mim walk to one beach and 20 to the other including perfect views. Quiet site at bedtime which was great for Myself and my Daughter. A well kept shop with everything you may need. Swimming was good times, you can stay in all day of you'd like.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The site was absolutely immaculate, from the pitches to the facilities.
Great for walks and the views are amazing.

Disliked: The martins bar food wasn’t the best and expensive.
The pitch we was on was difficult to get on to due to the hill.
We should have had another drive round as there were some pitches the next level up, we just wanted the view from the front window.

Liked: The caravan park is in such a beautiful place, views are scenic, lots of coastal walks. The park is so tidy,the grass is well kept,area around bins are clear and litter free. The showers and toilets are very clean.

Disliked: If only people would pick up their own dogs poo! Also rinse out the chemical toilet after their own use! This is down to individuals, NOT the park !!!

Local attractions

From beaut beaches to historic towns, fossil hunting to wholesome hikes, the Dorset coast has a colossal amount of activities and attractions whatever floats your boat. Cast off for some sea fishing, take a boat trip or scuba dive to the depths from local beaches, or tee off instead with a course around the clifftop 18 holes of the Bridport and West Dorset Golf Club. West Bay and Bridport are both about a mile from Highlands End (just the right distance to walk for an ice cream on a sunny day), and at least a day is recommended in each: the miles of West Bay for sunbathing, watersports and landing mackerel from a boat; and the market town of Bridport for its 17th-century museum and the market, going strong since Elizabethan times and the place to pick up everyday items like local food and more outlandish bits and bobs like clothes and antiques. Beachcombers and fossil finders will probably find themselves at Lyme Regis at some point, one of the most famed stretches on the Jurassic Coast and along with Bridport one of its gateway towns – it was here that famous geologist Mary Anning made her first finds in the 19th century and the town holds an annual Mary Anning Day as well as the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival. Visitor centres and museums are dotted all around the coast; if you’re not sure where to start, most have guided tours available. Hikers will be happy too with the wealth of paths and bridleways snaking around coast and countryside from Highlands and beyond – the South West Coast Path follows the entire 95-mile Jurassic coastline and Dorset has around 300 miles of waymarked paths and trails. Buses stop at many coastal spots, or hire a minibus to spectate the scenery in style.
