Make a weekend of it...

Known as the 'pearl of Dorset', Lyme Regis sits at the heart of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The birthplace of palaeontologist Mary Anning and former home of novelist John Fowles, the town is a colourful mix of historic buildings set on a steep hill overlooking the wide expanse of Lyme Bay.
