With the gripping drama Broadchurch coming to an end last night all eyes are on the stunning West Bay on Dorset coastline where the ITV show was filmed.  Located on the Jurassic Coast, the beautiful little fishing village sitting along the South West Coast Path, is set to attract an increased number of visitors this summer all thanks to the success of the series.  But it’s not just fans of  the show and tourists falling in love with the Dorset coast, David Tennant recently told ITV news “This is the only place you’d ever want to come on your holidays”.
