Chideock is a beautiful village just to the east of Bridport and within easy access of all the amenities that bustling town provides. Chideock itself is within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and most of it is situated in a Conservation Area. There are a number of archaeological sites including the earthworks of the medieval Chideock Castle to the north of the village. Rolling hills and graceful valleys surround the village offering up plenty of opportunity to explore.
Golden Cap
If you want to conquer the south coast’s highest peak without tackling the entire stretch of coast path to Seatown, park up in one of the National Trust’s car parks at Langdon Hill or Stonebarrow Hill. From here there’s much less distance to cover to reach the summit, and if you can’t hack the calf-busting climb, there are always the 25 miles of easier footpaths circulating the estate.
