Dating back to 1086, this small hamlet first started off as a farming and fishing community, unfortunately dying off in the 1700s with residents finding work in the mills and rope-walks in neighbouring Bridport.
The Chapel which is just up the track was abandoned in the 13th century, and locals tried in the 16th century to have it restored. To no success. During the 18th century it became known as a smugglers hideout for their the contraband.

Once a farm house, St. Gabriel's cottages are let out as holiday homes and owned by the National Trust. The entire building is exquisite with a thatched roof and gorgeous brickwork. You'll find it in a serene location only a stone's throw from Golden Cap.
