So much history in one building, I've created a highlight which includes all the amazing history,plus about 60 pictures. It's well worth a visit

* Historical Significance: A church was first founded on the site in the 9th century by Alfred the Great. The current building incorporates various architectural styles, including Norman, Early English, and Perpendicular, reflecting centuries of reconstruction and expansion. * Connection to Sir George Somers: The grave of Sir George Somers, who founded the colony of Bermuda and whose adventures are said to have inspired Shakespeare's "The Tempest," is located under the vestry. * Dorset County Symbol: St. Wite is the patron saint of Dorset, and her cross was adopted as the new county symbol in a public vote in 2008. The church continues to be an active Church of England parish church and is lovingly cared for by a local group, the Friends of St Candida.

Undisturbed Relics of St. Wite (St. Candida): It is one of only two churches in England (the other being Westminster Abbey) that still contains the undisturbed relics of the saint to whom it is dedicated, St. Wite (also known by her Latin name, St. Candida). This has created an unbroken line of pilgrimage to her shrine for over 1,000 years. "Cathedral of the Vale": It is known locally as "The Cathedral of the Vale" due to its historical significance and prominence in the Marshwood Vale. * Ancient Pilgrimage Site: The church has been a significant pilgrimage site for over a millennium, with pilgrims historically drawn by the reputation of St. Wite and the belief in the healing powers of her shrine. The shrine has three holes in its base where the sick could place body parts or offerings in hopes of miraculous healing. * Survival of the Reformation: Remarkably, the shrine and its relics survived the English Reformation, during which many such sacred sites were destroyed.

As far as I am aware, the West Bay coastal path is closed due to many landslip and the path disappearing into the bay.

Car park at the beach is relatively cheap. toilets are 24 hours open and clean. The shingle beach is...well, a nightmare for miles upon miles of relentless trudging.

Their mission is to use sustainable, locally-sourced ingredients and to support local suppliers wherever possible. As a result, their comprehensive menu changes daily and evolves throughout the seasons.

The cliff top is closed due to massive erosion and possible land slips. There is a diversion which leads through the golf course.

A lot of coastal erosion at this area as of late, and sections of cliffs, above and below are now off limits to members of the public to due safety reasons. West bay and the cliffs are the locations used for the ITV drama Broadchurch. Fascinating looking around the the little fishing village and seeing the locations used in person.
