SITUATION Seasons Watch occupies a lovely elevated setting with far-reaching village, country and sea views. Burton Bradstock lies on the coast and is considered to be one of the most sought after and attractive villages in West Dorset. It is a conservation village and the picturesque centre consists largely of stone and thatched cottages, for which the area is particularly well known. The excellent amenities include a shop/garage, Post Office, library, public houses, church, village hall, primary school and bus service. There is also the very popular Hive Beach, which forms part of the stunning Jurassic Coast. The immediate locality is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and much of the coastline is either owned or controlled by the National Trust. There are nearby footpaths giving easy access to open countryside, down to the beach and to clifftops. The thriving historic market town of Bridport and the coastal resort of West Bay, with its 18-hole golf course, are both within easy reach and the stunning coastal road is also nearby giving easy access to the larger towns of Dorchester and Weymouth, both with mainline rail services to London
