If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, a move to Dorset might be just the tonic. Famed for its rolling hills and the awe-inspiring Jurassic Coast, this picture-perfect county offers a lifestyle that’s hard to beat. Dorset is a haven for families, couples, retirees, and anyone who enjoys taking a moment to appreciate natural beauty, with a rich blend of nightlife, wildlife, and coastal charm.
Foundry Lea, located on the outskirts of the vibrant market town of Bridport, is a thoughtfully designed new community that perfectly captures the essence of Dorset living. Less than two miles from the town centre and just minutes from the coast, residents can enjoy easy access to West Bay, a charming fishing village featured in the hit TV drama Broadchurch, as well as Eype Beach, Burton Freshwater, and the South West Coast Path, which offers breath-taking views and invigorating hikes.
Bridport itself is a lively hub with independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, pubs, restaurants, and a thriving arts scene including a cinema, live music venue, and weekly markets. The area is also home to several well-regarded schools, a leisure centre, and healthcare facilities. For those who love the outdoors, Foundry Lea offers 12 acres of open space, allotments, an orchard, and planned amenities like a new school and sports pitches—all designed to foster a strong sense of community and sustainable living.
With excellent transport links via the A35, residents can easily reach Lyme Regis, Charmouth, and Dorchester, making Foundry Lea not just a beautiful place to live, but a well-connected one too.
