Pymore Village History - Pymore is a unique former ropemaker’s village, set on the River Brit and dates back to the 14th century. By the 1700s it gained a reputation for rope making and flax and hemp was grown in the nearby fields. Rope walks were set up near the mill pond and outbuildings, cottages, a dairy and a brewery were built. A school opened in 1870. The advent of manmade fibre forced the ropery to close down in 1955, after which the village was deserted and the buildings became derelict until the village was regenerated in the early 2000s. The original properties were restored and new homes were built in a sympathetic local style. The result is a unique riverside village environment.

Situation - Pymore occupies a country setting, yet within close reach of Bridport town. The immediate area is designated as one of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) and there are delightful riverside walks on the doorstep. The village has a public house. The thriving historic market town of Bridport offers excellent shopping, business and leisure facilities together with schools etc. The popular coastal resort of West Bay and the stunning Jurassic World Heritage Coast is also very nearby.
