While many people love walking along Marine Parade, which is the town's
sea front, you will have a better view of the sea from Langmoor Garden
( 5mins from our B&B ).
There are two Tea Rooms where you can enjoy both a sea view and a cream
tea all at once in the Garden! (The Alexandra Hotel & Cliff Cottage
Tea Rooms )

If you love walking in the countryside, then The Undercliff, which is owned
by The National Trust, could be a very satisfying Undercliff walk to the
west, towards Seaton in Devon (aprox.3h.). You can even catch a Bus at
Seaton, if you are too tired to walk back. At the beginning of the Undercliff
walk there are some superb views of Lyme Bay, and the Cobb, completely
invisible to the people down on the beach. There you can enjoy a quiet
picnic among sheep and wild flowers!
Lyme Regis is famous as a seaside town. We have not only the sea but other
quiet charms too.
Going inland, you can enjoy a quiet riverside walk away from the busy town
centre along the river Lym. Passing through the Old Town of Lyme Regis,
your riverside walk starts by the Town Mill. This has just recently been
reopened to the public and the ancient millwheel is now fully working.

- There are some very nice Italian, French, Indian and English Restaurants,
all within convenient walking distance.

- The nearest short stay Public Car Park is behind our house. Long stay car
parks are 5 minutes waking distance. Once purchaced, long stay Permit is
also vaild to the some other car parks in Dorset.
Children would love to feed the ducks by the River Lym. You may see the
ducklings in summer !
National Trust Bluebell Woods and Wildgarlic field are only 20minutes walk
up the hill, if you are lucky enough to come to Lyme in late April till
early May....
If you prefer a shorter walk, then we suggest that you try the Eastern
beach walk to Charmouth. This walk is best done at low tide and takes about
40 mins. You will pass some famous fossil beds in the cliffs and you will
see many fossils in the rocks on the way !
