Higher Eype Dorset Map

About Higher Eype

Higher Eype gathers itself against the West Dorset landscape, a quiet collection of dwellings breathing the saline air. It lies 2.0 km west-south-west of Bridport (from Bridport: bearing 255°T, OS grid SY 445 924), and is situated north-north-west of Lower Eype village. The fields here roll with a subtle, almost hesitant grace, the colours of the earth shifting with the passing clouds, a palette of ochre and deep loam that speaks of ancient cultivation. From Higher Eype, the distant murmur of the sea is a constant companion, a low thrumming beneath the chirrup of larks and the bleating of sheep that graze on slopes where the chalk of the coast begins to assert its presence. The light often falls in long, slanted shafts, illuminating the rough textures of stone walls and the dew-kissed leaves of hedgerows, lending a transient, ethereal quality to the everyday.
