Winston Churchill’ government commandeered the village and nearby Warborough Bay as a training ground for the 2nd World War D Day landings. Tyneham is set in the Army firing ranges of Bovington and Lulworth and is only open on selected dated outside of the summer, so worth checking the opening times before setting out – www.tynehamopc.org.uk The restored School room and Church contain many glimpses of life in the 1900’s.

There are some fine restaurants and take aways at West Bay including the Station Kitchen, Rachels and Seagulls with 3 pubs The Bridport Arms, The West Bay and the George. Lots of smaller fish and chip shops/cafe's but the surprise is at the Customs House where you can browse away or have a good meal and sample some gin from its own distillery.
