Lyme Regis

Lyme Regis is a coastal town in West Dorset, England, situated 25 miles (40 km) west of Dorchester and 25 miles (40 km) east of Exeter. The town lies in Lyme Bay, on the English Channel coast at the Dorset–Devon border. It is nicknamed "The Pearl of Dorset." The town 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.

As the weather forecast was nice for today til about 4pm, we decided to drive down to the coast and as we like Lyme Regis, that's where we headed. We had a nice day pottering about the shops, fuelling ourselves with the lovely coffee from Aroma, ice cream and then chips just before we headed home. As we were eating the chips the rain arrived. It was 4.30pm, so well done to the Met Office for getting that pretty spot on!
