Information

Where Dorset meets Devon and the rolling countryside tumbles to the sea nestles the fascinating town of Lyme Regis.
Since the 18th century visitors have sought the tranquillity of Lyme’s shores as a welcome haven for refreshment and recreation. Despite the numbers of visitors who return here year after year, the determination to preserve the town’s heritage has protected it against the creeping commercialisation which so often besets seaside resorts today. Enjoy its dramatic location, congenial climate, timeless charm and the hospitality of its townsfolk. From the crest of Timber Hill a magnificent, panoramic view of the bay lies before you with the blue sea beyond the ragged rooftops of the town, embracing and beckoning. The delightful maze of steep, narrow streets with their interesting architecture, shops, galleries, pubs and cafes just begs to be explored. There are sheltered south facing beaches, safe for bathing, and the sunny sandbar overlooking the harbour and traffic free promenade create an environment where children can play safely.
Whether you come to Lyme for its history, its geology or just to relax on the beaches and soak up the sun, there’s something here for everyone. The atmosphere of this unique and favoured town, once experienced, will soon weave its spell and you’ll be coming back for more!
