Pymore Village Pymore is a unique former rope makers village which is set on the River Brit and dates back to 14th century. By the 1700s, it had gained a reputation for ropemaking and its population depended for their livelihoods on rope and twine making at the village mill or growing flax and hemp in nearby fields. Rope walks were set up near the mill pond and outbuildings, cottages, a dairy and a brewery were built. A school was opened in 1870 as well as a girls hostel. However the advent of man made fibres forced the ropery to close 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 within only 20 minutes walk of Bridport town centre and a broad range of amenities. In the river, you will be able to watch Otters and Kingfishers, sitting on one of the many benches dotted around the village with other members of the sociable and thriving community.
