Parked just outside of Lyme Regis harbour in a large pay & display car park, as parking anywhere near the harbour is nigh-on impossible! Lovely windy day, along the seafront onto the infamous Cobb. Great to retrace our steps from a childhood holiday many moons ago. Plenty of fossil shops & food places to suit all budgets.
As a lifelong Persuasion fan, this was a bucket list visit. The Cobb did not disappoint. A walk along the seawall is not for anyone who does not like heights or water, as you are up where it's quite blustery and there are no railings. Stunning views of the sea and you cannot beat the atmosphere.
Fantastic walk along the sea wall top and bottom
I'd never been to Lyme Regis before, but we watched 'The French Lieutenant's Woman' the other night, and it's only an hour from home, so we thought we'd go. 'The Cob' is the breakwater that takes the worst of the storms to keep the harbour safe.nnIt was a windy, wet day and the water wash lashing against the cob - perfect. There was a little aquarium there too, so we went in and fed 'the mullets'.nnLyme Regis is a gorgeous seaside town. Much more salubrious than the usual seas-side towns full of amusement arcades and tat shops. Definitely worth a day trip, if not a few days there.nnWe also did some fossil hunting, and came away with a good haul of fossils. Woohoo !nnThe Mary Anning statue was lovely to see too ... such amazing dedication to her chosen career.
We visited The Cob in Lyme Regis before heading back home, what an absolutely fabulous place.nnWe spent a few days in Exmouth and were advised to visit The Cob before heading back home.nnThe Cob is a very nice place to visit. When we were there we had a nice walk along the beach, had coffee and hot chocolate, went to a gift shot, had a quick walk up the high/main street etc.nnWe would definitely visit The Cob in Lyme Regis again, but next time we would try to stay overnight.
