  • Dog-friendly wildlife haven on a Dorset smallholding with sea views
  • A 10-minute drive from Charmouth and 15 minutes from Lyme Regis
  • Walks nearby and woods behind the site; firepits are provided
Just decided on a Jurassic Coast holiday? Whether it’s fossil hunting on the beach, wind-swept coastal hikes or exploring arty Bridport (20 minutes’ drive) you have in mind, Brig’s Farm should prove to be a splendid base. This 12-acre smallholding sitting among the gentle hills of west Dorset is a wildlife haven, with an informal, quiet atmosphere where guests are encouraged to soak up the distant sea views and the sounds of nature, well removed from loud music and rowdy parties. You can set up a firepit when the sun goes down, or gather by the wood-fired oven on pizza nights, and wait for your margherita to come out piping hot, ready to be devoured. (Book in advance, and please note that pizza nights are weather-dependent.) A coffee shack on site sells hot drinks and cakes. There are composting toilets and showers on site, so you should feel nice and fresh no matter how much walking you do in the day – and there are lots of gorgeous walks locally, plus woods behind the site that you can explore with your canine buddy, who is a very welcome guest here. Brig’s Farm is about 10 minutes by car from the coastal village of Charmouth, which is famed for its fossils. It’ll take you about an hour to get to the village on foot, and then you can reward yourself with a pint, some fish and chips and/or a paddle in the sea.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: Everything! Small site, lovely setting and the best showers! Very close to attractions and the park and ride into Lyme. very easy for Charmouth too but away from the huddle and bustle. We will absolutely return here! Excellent recycling set up. There are three areas suitable for a large family or group around a fire pit which looked really nice if you were with friends. The rest of the pitches are in a large circle with a fire pit to each one. Mowed pathways through longer grass, on the way to showers etc.

Disliked: Slightly tricky up and down the steeper bit of the drive to the lane where the rain had washed away bit bits of the hardcore, but only a minor issue we did make it in and out.

Liked: Spectacular views and great facilities. The campsite is in a great location for local exploring and access to beaches. It’s kept very well maintained and clean. Although we didn’t manage to sample the coffee and cake available - we’ll be back to do so next time!

Liked: The absolute peace and quiet. The pitches were spaced well with a fabulous recycling/rubbish bin set up. The showers were hot and spacious. The only noises were the repeated sounds of nature and country life.... fabulous eco set up... Great coffee Shack with homemade cakes/brownies...

Liked: Fantastic stay, beautiful views and delicious pizzas provided by the owner on Friday night. I made a mistake while booking and assumed I had paid for the 4th night so we left our campervan on site all day, when I realised my mistake on return the owner was really understanding and accommodating, no issues at all.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: A very peaceful, rural, laid back site with amazing views. Pitches well spaced out. Surrounded by wildlife. Showers were excellent and useful washing up area also good. I am not personally a fan of the compost toilet but I'm sure it would suit most people. The best thing is this sort of site attracts like-minded people who just want a simple, quiet, away from it all holiday.

Local attractions

Lemurs, wallabies and meerkats are among the residents at Axe Valley Wildlife Park (10 minutes’ drive), where you can also book experiences with the animals – from supervised handling sessions to shadowing the keepers as they prepare food and clean enclosures. The Mary Anning Rocks Statue at Lyme Regis (15 minutes) honours this important 19th-century palaeontologist. You can follow in her footsteps here and go fossil hunting on the beach. Don’t worry if you fail to spot any ammonites: you can always pick one up from the local souvenir shops, or discover all about fossils and the Jurassic Coast at the Lyme Regis Museum. In addition to a long pebbly beach popular for swimming and watersports, the seaside town of Seaton (20 minutes) has a pretty marina and fishing harbour. The South West Coastal Path runs along the seafront, with a wide esplanade for waterfront strolls, or you can take a scenic ride on the vintage-style Seaton Tramway.
