Welcome to a world of forests and fossils, history, quaint tea shops, legends and love.
Situated in West Dorset, Lyme Regis is a historical unspoilt seaside resort and fishing port on the world famous Cobb harbour. Surrounded by beautiful coastlines and countrside, the area has now been awarded World Hertiage Site Status; famous for its geology and fossil finds.
The town is steeped in history and has literary connections with Thomas Hardy and Jane Austen. It also provided the setting for the film "French Lieutenant's Woman" from John Fowles's book. In an area of outstanding natural beauty, there are countless secluded haunts and walks far away from the crowds, madding and otherwise! And views from the cliff tops along Dorset's coastal path are simply breathtaking.
Relax, wander around book stores, shops and galleries, dine at one of the many restaurants, visit country pubs, or do some serious walking and enjoy the sea views.
With a stunning seafront and large sandy beach it is perfect for a week or fortnight beach holiday in the summer and ideal for short breaks throughout the year. Whatever you choose to do, Lyme Regis offers an English holiday at its best.
