About Skilling

Skilling lies within Bridport's orbit in West Dorset, close to the Jurassic Coast and surrounded by the characteristic rolling countryside. The A35 forms the main connection, linking to London via the M3 and A303, whilst the B3157 provides coastal access. Local routes serve nearby villages and West Bay's harbour. With over 20 fast EV chargers in the area, it's well-positioned for electric vehicle travel. The name derives from the Old English for "division of land," reflecting centuries of agricultural use in this fertile Dorset valley.
