The '''river Asker''' is a small river in [[Dorset]] and a tributary of the river Brit. It's source is at Eggardon Hill just above the village of [[Askerswell]]. The river Asker flows through the Asker valley, passing the villages of Yonder, Uploders, Loders and Bradpole. It meets the river Brit at [[Bridport]]. There is a beautiful single track eighteenth century bridge just outside the village of Loders which is grade 2 listed. The river is a haven for wildlife including several species of damselfly, the common minnow and the smooth newt (known in the area as a 'narn'). The Asker valley, and the river in particular, were the inspiration for Hawthorne Abendsen's classic novel 'The Grasshopper lies heavy' (1968).
