The seaside town of Lyme Regis nestles within a dramatically diverse stretch of coastline just beyond the border between Devon and Dorset.

Gentle inlets surrounded by woodland and meadows contrast with extraordinary areas like the 17 mile long Chesil Beach, which shelters the Fleet tidal lagoon, whilst the crumbling cliffs around Lyme Regis and neighbouring Charmouth cradle 200 million year old fossils. Take a boat trip and explore the beauty of the coast or spend an afternoon fossil hunting and see what hidden treasures you can uncover from the rocks.

The distinctive oak breakwaters were then built as the harbour grew around its shipbuilding and trade with France.

Find cottages in Lyme RegisAnyone choosing from amongst the dozens of character holiday lets in the area will enjoy a full and varied break here, within reach of a host of attractions and places to visit across Dorset and East Devon. At any time of year, the beautiful villages that dot the landscape are the perfect place to relax and enjoy freshly baked scones in a traditional Dorset tea room, or lunch in a cosy thatched pub. Throughout the month of June in the pretty village of Abbotsbury, baby swans can be seen hatching from their eggs at the famous Swannery, and the feeding of the resident flock of 600 mute swans is a unique sight. Dorset also has some of Britain's finest gardens, and throughout spring and summer Abbotsbury's subtropical gardens are a real feast for the senses, while close to Dorchester, Minterne gardens provide idyllic walks through beds of Himalayan Rhododendrons and azaleas, beside small lakes adorned with water lilies. For a nostalgic day out with the children, visit the town of Seaton and enjoy a journey on a vintage open top tramcar through the countryside of the Axe Valley, with relaxing views of the protected marshes and wetlands, home to a wide variety of wading birds and wildlife.
