Lyme Regis boasts breathtaking scenery and a special mystique, making it a sparkling resort for all seasons. Its historic Cobb and harbour are iconic features, set against moody blue cliffs yielding fossilised evidence of life on earth millions of years ago.
An ancient town featured in the Domesday Book, Lyme Regis is home to a number of historical landmarks and educational attractions. The picturesque and tranquil Lyme Regis is a great place to discover a lot you didn’t know about the UK’s heritage.
The idea of the Domesday Book was brilliant back then. And the appearance of Lyme Regis in the Domesday Book is pretty impressive! In Australia, we think 1850 is VERY old for a town.
My American friends also struggle with just HOW OLD some of our towns are
Lovely place, we hope to revisit soon.
I like that first photo in particular.
We also loved Sherborne which is the town that we stayed in. Lots of history there.
Lovely photos – it is such a wonderful town and I love the ammonite lamp posts. Your photos have made me want to return!!
I was quite taken with the ammonite lamp posts
I hope you get the chance to return soon.
What lovely photographs, they have made me want to visit … perhaps later on in the year I will!
All the best Jan
This is a lovely part of the country to visit. Beautiful scenery, history and nature combined
Interesting lamp
Coffee is on
To me the lamp looks retro, but it works well with the lamp post design.
some beautiful shots here, especially with that almost spotless blue sky and those fine lamp posts.
Thank you, I am glad you like the photos
Ammonites must be the symbol of the town.
Is it legal to collect fossil shells by the shore?
I thought it was illegal but in that area you are encouraged to find your on fossils and take them home with you…
