This fascinating harbour
town and seaside resort at the mouth of the
River Lim on the Dorset-Devon border has many
elegant Georgian buildings and was the setting
for John Fowles’ famous novel ‘The French
Lieutenant’s Woman’. Its harbour wall, known
as ‘The Cobb’, was also featured in the novels
by Jane Austen who briefly lived here.
Known as the ‘necklace of
Dorset’, Lyme Regis and its sublime
cliff-faces form part of the magnificent
Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site.
