Nearby, is the local Palmers brewery offering tours (and samples). West Bay, the pretty harbour of Bridport, was once used as the setting for "Harbour Lights". Whilst television celebrity chef, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall was filmed near Bingham Grange in "Return to River Cottage".

Description

Bingham Grange is an exclusive park developed within the grounds of a former country farm. The setting is idyllic with olde-worlde barns & cottages full of charm & history. Located within West Dorset's area of outstanding natural beauty, & being only 5 miles from the World Heritage Jurassic Coast we offer an ideal base to 'set up camp' & live amidst the breathtaking scenery for which this part of Britain is internationally renowned. We cater exclusively for adults & provide a quiet haven for those wishing to get away from it all & experience a taste of what life was like in the 'Rural Dorset' of yesteryear.

Touring Caravans, Tents & Motorhomes are welcome with a choice of grass or hardstanding pitches, all with electric hook-up. We have an ever increasing number of fully serviced pitches offering electric hook-up, water & waste. Many of our pitches offer expansive views over the glorious West Dorset countryside. Bingham Grange occupies only a small part of this country estate, the remainder of which is open countryside & woodland. Catch a glimpse of deer, buzzards, badgers, foxes & other wildlife, all of which are spotted regularly within the parkland.

Dogs are welcome to enjoy the park's own woodland dog walk and even have a paddle in the River Brit located on the edge of our land. Beyond the woodland walk is access to a network of public footpaths each leading to picturesque villages or the small market town of Bridport with traditional shops, cafes and twice weekly street markets (Wednesdays and Saturdays) for curios as well as domestic essentials. Such memorable walks are not only to be enjoyed by dogs and their owners, but indeed any visitor to the park each with the thrilling chance of catching a glimpse of deer, buzzards, badgers, foxes and other wildlife, all of which are spotted regularly within the parkland.  Our Dog Walking Area is entirely unique with its astonishing views and direct access to the network of Public Footpaths.  On the edge of the park, through the woodland flows the River Brit, ideal if your dog likes a cooling swim! 

 

Located on the top floor of the honey stone former hay barn (which dates from the early 1800's) is Bingham's very own cosy Lounge Bar and Restaurant complete with original exposed beams and interesting vaulted ceilings and often featuring stunning views of sunsets over the Brit Valley! This is the perfect place to unwind after a busy day exploring the area. You will of course find a wide selection of delicious main meals, skilfully created by our talented resident chef, but, whatever you do, don't go home without trying one of his beautifully hand crafted desserts as well!  Although we insist on buying much of our fresh produce locally you will be surprised at the excellent value for money on offer.  We believe you will struggle to find finer food anywhere nearby!  You can even have it 'Takeaway' if you so desire.
