Walditch is a small village in the civil parish of Bridport, in the Dorset district, in the ceremonial county of Dorset, England. It is situated about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) to the east of the town of Bridport. The name Walditch is derived from an older term Waldyke, which alludes to the village's location: Walditch is located in the valley of a curved hill that encompasses the village; the hill has a dry stone wall still partially in place, which continues over towards Bothenhampton. In 1891 the parish had a population of 175. In 1897 the parish was abolished and merged with Bothenhampton and Bridport.
