Lyme Regis is a coastal town in West Dorset, England, situated 25 miles west of Dorchester and 25 miles east of Exeter. The town of Lyme Regis lies in Lyme Bay, on the English Channel coast at the Dorset–Devon border. Lyme Regis is nicknamed The Pearl of Dorset.
Lyme Regis is noted for the fossils found in the cliffs and beaches, which are part of the Heritage Coast—known commercially as the Jurassic Coast—a World Heritage Site. The harbour wall, known as The Cobb, features in Jane Austen's novel Persuasion, and in The French Lieutenant's Woman, a novel by British writer John Fowles, as well as the 1981 film of the same name, which was partly filmed in Lyme Regis.
Lyme Regis was home to Admiral Sir George Somers, its one-time mayor and parliamentarian. He founded the English colonial settlement of the Somers Isles, better known as Bermuda. Lyme Regis is twinned with St. George's, Bermuda. In July 2015 Lyme Regis was also 'tripled' with Jamestown, Virginia to form the Historic Atlantic Triangle between Lyme, St George's and Jamestown.
Lyme Regis is a coastal town in West Dorset, situated 25 miles west of Dorchester and 25 miles (40 km) east of Exeter. It lies in Lyme Bay, on the English Channel coast at the Dorset-Devon border.
The first record of the Cobb, the town's harbour wall, is in a 1328 document describing it as having been damaged by storms. The Cobb wall provides a breakwater to protect the town from storms and separates Monmouth and Cobb Gate beaches. A building on the Cobb has been converted to house a marine aquarium displaying local fish and marine life from the Jurassic coast. Its primary attraction is Thicklip grey mullet, which have been trained to accept food by hand.
Town Mill, a watermill dating from 1340, has been restored to working order and produces flour. Near the Town Mill on the site of an old chapel dedicated to St Mary & the Holy Spirits, is the Lepers Well. The frontage of the Three Cups Hotel on Broad Street dates from 1807. It is believed that Jane Austen stayed in Hiscott’s Boarding house on the same site in 1804. The Royal Lion Hotel is a former coaching inn, dated to the first decade of the 17th century. It is reputedly haunted; many alleged ectoplasms have been sighted in the corridors and cold spots.
