Known as the "Pearl of Dorset," Lyme Regis is a historic coastal town nestled along England's dramatic Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Famous for its fossils, charming harbour (The Cobb, featured in "The French Lieutenant's Woman"), and steep, winding streets lined with colourful cottages and independent shops. Explore the town's literary connections (Jane Austen visited), hunt for ammonites on the beach, and enjoy breathtaking coastal walks. While different from the Mediterranean, its unique history, stunning cliffs, and quintessentially English charm make it a captivating alternative.
