Awash with history, Lyme Regis is an integral part of Dorset's famous Jurassic Coast; guided fossil hunting tours are a popular way to discover the rich geological history of the area. Literary history is equally important to Lyme Regis; the unique harbour, known as The Cobb' was immortalised by John Fowles in his novel The French Lieutenant's Woman' and Thomas Hardy set many of his novels in the area.
Classic old-fashioned seaside charm. Little wooden changing huts line up on the beach in front of the striking white chalk cliffs. The town has been a fishing port since the 15th Century and many of the buildings are listed.
