The coastal towns of Charmouth and Lyme Regis have a great deal of charm and are only a few minutes away.
Lyme Regis has a maze of little streets leading down to an ancient harbour, known as The Cobb. The Cobb has existed since the 13th Century and has a long history as a trading port. Today, The Cobb is used by fishing boats and pleasure craft and is connected to the main town along a picturesque promenade. There are many places to eat to suit all tastes.
