🌊 Lyme Regis Beach – What's Interesting?
Although often associated with Devon, Lyme Regis is actually located in Dorset, right on the border with Devon. It’s a charming seaside town famous for its geology, fossil hunting, and coastal views. Here’s what makes it special:
🦕 1. Fossil Hunting
Lyme Regis is part of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The cliffs and beaches reveal rocks and fossils from over 180 million years ago. On Monmouth Beach and nearby Charmouth, you can find:
ammonites
belemnites
fossilized fish and plants
even marine reptiles like ichthyosaurs (if you're lucky!)
It’s a favorite spot for paleontologists and families alike.
🧑🔬 2. Mary Anning & the Museum
Lyme Regis is the hometown of Mary Anning, the pioneering fossil hunter. You can visit:
Lyme Regis Museum – located on the site of her former home, featuring exhibits on her life and discoveries.
A statue of Mary Anning by the sea.
🌅 3. The Cobb & the Beach
The Cobb is a historic stone harbor wall featured in literature and films (e.g., The French Lieutenant’s Woman).
You can walk along it for amazing sea views.
The beach itself is great for swimming, picnics, or just relaxing.
👨👩👧 4. Family Activities
Guided fossil walks are available (highly recommended).
You’ll also find rock pools, cafes, and kayak or paddleboard rentals in summer.
