Lyme Regis is one of those coastal towns that charms you the minute you arrive—winding streets, a curve of golden beach, fishing boats bobbing in the harbour and that distinct salty tang in the air. It's tucked into the far west of Dorset, right on the border with Devon, and has a friendly, relaxed feel that suits holidaymakers, locals, and fossil hunters alike. With its crumbling cliffs and cobbled lanes, it's packed with character but never feels overdone. It's a place to explore slowly, stop for a cream tea, and watch the waves roll in.

The town's history stretches back over a thousand years, gaining its Royal Charter in the 13th century—hence the “Regis” in its name. It flourished as a port during medieval times and later became a fashionable seaside resort, especially in the Georgian and Victorian periods. It's perhaps best known for its fossil-rich cliffs, part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, and as the home of Mary Anning, the pioneering palaeontologist. The town played its part in the English Civil War and was a landing spot during the Monmouth Rebellion. The population now sits at around 3,600, though it swells in summer with day-trippers and families making the most of the sea and sunshine.

There's a real mix of things to do in town. The beach is a beauty—part sandy, part pebbly—with plenty of rockpools and fossil hunting opportunities along the cliffs towards Charmouth. The historic Cobb harbour wall is iconic and offers great views back over the bay. Dinosaurland Fossil Museum and the Lyme Regis Museum both offer hands-on fun and a look at the town's prehistoric past. The Marine Theatre puts on a mix of live shows and films, and there are boat trips, galleries, cafes and independent shops dotted all over the place. Just outside town, you've got the National Trust's Golden Cap estate—great for walking and the highest point on the south coast. English Heritage fans might enjoy nearby monuments and ancient hill forts across West Dorset.

Wider Dorset has no shortage of things to see and do. Head east along the coast and you'll find iconic spots like West Bay, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, all full of drama and natural beauty. Inland, there's Hardy Country—rolling hills and quiet villages that inspired Thomas Hardy's novels. Visit the market town of Bridport for its artsy scene and twice-weekly market, or head to Dorchester for a bit of history, museums and traditional pubs. The whole Jurassic Coast is worth exploring, with cliffs and coves offering a new perspective at every turn.

Lyme Regis isn't on the mainline train network, but it's still easy enough to reach. The closest station is at Axminster, about six miles away, and there's a regular bus link into town. If you're driving, the A35 will get you close, with scenic routes cutting through the hills for the last leg. Buses connect Lyme with surrounding villages and nearby towns, and if you're flying in, Exeter Airport is just under an hour away by car. The roads into town can be narrow and winding, but that's part of the charm—by the time you reach the seafront, it all feels worth it.

Dorset's a county that does things its own way. It doesn't try too hard, doesn't need to—there's beauty in the hills, character in the towns and a coast that keeps you coming back. You've got wild cliffs and gentle beaches, market towns and country pubs, Iron Age hillforts and Victorian piers. It suits walkers, writers, foodies, families, and just about anyone who fancies a break from the fast lane. It's easygoing, full of surprises, and still manages to feel like proper England.
