Eype /iːp/ is a small village in southwest Dorset, England,[1] situated in the West Dorset administrative district approximately 1.25 miles (2.01 km) southwest of Bridport. It lies on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site on the English Channel and is within the civil parish of Symondsbury.
Eype means "steep place" and many of its buildings can be traced back to the late eighteenth or early nineteenth centuries[citation needed], but little is known in detail until the Victorian era.
To the west of Eype Beach is Golden Cap, the highest cliff on the south coast of England at 191 m above sea level. In 2011 a beach hut located at Eype Beach went on the market for £200,000.[2]
A notable resident was the antiques dealer Paul Atterbury.[3]
St Peters Church is regularly used for art exhibitions and was also used to record P.J. Harveys Mercury prize winning Let England Shake[4]
