The picturesque seaside resort of Lyme Regis, with its relaxed pace of life and genteel, old-world charm is a wonderful place to escape and unwind. Situated on the dramatic Jurassic Coast, on the border between Dorset and Devon, visitors to the town will appreciate the natural beauty of the setting nestled in rolling countryside, with miles of stunning coastal scenery right on their doorstep.

The town itself is famous for its iconic Cobb, a curving harbour wall dating back to the 13th century that is also a great spot for crabbing, fishing, or taking a boat trip to admire the magnificent views from the water. At the far end of the Cobb you’ll find the Lyme Regis Aquarium featuring a variety of local marine life, including crabs, seahorses and (at the time of writing) an 80-year-old lobster!

The Lyme Regis Museum is certainly worth a visit, and afterwards, why not use your new-found local knowledge to find a few fossils of your own along the ancient coast, or take part in a guided fossil walk to uncover some relics from the ancient cliffs around the town, which are continuously being eroded by the sea.

Lyme Regis is the perfect place to while away a pleasurable afternoon strolling through the historic 14th century old town which is brimming with characterful shops, tempting tea rooms and quirky galleries. Then enjoy a lively evening at the sea front theatre, or at one of many outstanding bars and restaurants serving locally caught fish and locally produced culinary treats.

If you fancy a beach day, the town's Cobb beach is popular with families, but there are several more beautiful beaches to discover nearby, including Charmouth beach, Chesil beach and Weymouth beach.

Meanwhile, for a family day out, there are several attractions within easy reach, including the Axe Valley Wildlife Park, Seaton Tramway and Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary, all of which are just over the border in East Devon.

A holiday cottage in Lyme Regis allows you to take full advantage of all this lovely seaside town has to offer, whilst being a great base to explore this beautiful corner of Dorset and East Devon.

Well worth a visit. Free to enter and you can show yourself around. Friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. Very interesting.

April 2024


Loved this! Historic monument & enthusiastic volunteers. My 4 & 6 year olds loved watching the Water Wheel & cog mechanics when it was operating. So much so, we came back 3 days in a row to see the demonstration. Great history lesson!

April 2024


The cafe serves excellent toasted sandwiches and salad.

June 2022


Most enjoyable visit

June 2022


very interesting tour of working mill.The lyme regis brewery has fantastic beers and a lovely courtyard to sit in the sun to drink it

May 2022


Even better since its recent restoration- you can see inside the mill from a viewing platform and read the information board- no charge but donations encouraged. It's a beautiful building, brilliantly restored; we bought flour from the shop because we were inspired to encourage this little gem to thrive.

March 2022


The old Mill has been lovingly restored to working order, and volunteers are keen to talk about its history, working, and demonstrate it's working. A gem, must be seen. The enjoy a beer or cider across the yard at the Brewery!

September 2021


The brewery was excellent!

June 2021


We loved the Town Mill, particularly the Lyme Regis micro-brewery. Weather wasn't too kind but never spoiled our visits. Covid meant we had to sit at outside tables, sometimes in the rain, however staff were always willing to bring our orders to us as we stood with umbrellas or managed to get a table with cover. Great hosts and great fun.

May 2021


It's a lovely collection of buildings and artisan businesses, a great area to while away time, get inspired and spend money locally! The people at the mill are super-keen and we enjoyed the whole place a lot.

October 2020


A great attraction to visit and learn about milling of grain into flour. A guided tour available and only a donation suggested. Great for children and adults alike. Guide very knowledgeable.

November 2019


Well worth a visit for young and old. Well informed volunteers provide the tour and make it so interesting. No fee is charged but contributions are welcomed and help to keep it open so please give generously.

July 2019


Well worth a visit. The "miller" gave a very informative tour Which included some history of Lyme regis as well as explaining the workings of the mill.

October 2018


The Town Mill is a great attraction, the tour guided by a volunteer miller was excellent and informative.(suggest checking the tour times as they did not run every day) . Opportunities for photographs during the tour were limited because of space but I returned a couple of days later and was able to wander around and take as many as I wanted , I also got to talk to another miller. All for a donation entry fee! The small shop sold their flour and books about the mill. ( I think 2 other reviews were talking about the Courtyard Cafe)

October 2018


Took ages to serve us and the table service in general was poor. Food was good but let down by indifferent service.

July 2018


Well worth a visit as the central feature in a really pleasant old town walk behind the main street. Easier when you start at the top and go down through the twists and turns.

Dinosaurland Fossil Museum
(Less than a mile)

(8)

A private museum that’s owned and run by Palaeontologist Steve Davies and his wife Jenny, Dinosaurland Fossil Museum contains a spectacular collection of the local Jurassic marine fossils.  The collection grows each year, meaning there’s always something new to see, with more than 10,000 specimens to show people just how exciting and wonderful the world of fossils and dinosaurs really is.  Even the building itself has an interesting pedigree as the pioneering fossil hunter Mary Anning was baptised here on 27th June 1799 and continued to worship here until about 1830. She discovered the first Ichthyosaur on the beaches here in 1811.

Lovely little museum, loads of interesting displays and information, great for families.

April 2024


Lots of interesting fossils and dinosaurs on view.

October 2023


So many fossils could fo with an upgrade but if you're interested its work popping in

October 2023


Interesting displays, especially the time gallery upstairs. We were unfortunate to go when there was a group of students, so couldn't get to all rooms, but gent on the door did warn us.

March 2023


Worth a visit and we thought it was good value. Loads of things to see and read but you have got to be into fossils and geology. Some great set ups with models, and all explained. There were some very young children in there as we walked around and they seem to love it, as the models were huge for them. They were barely walking but seem to know many of the dinosaur names. The person who welcomed us was really friendly and was happy to advice on good places to hunt for fossils. It needs a bit of a dust in places, as do most museums.

June 2022


We've visited here several times, there's a good mix of info for all age ranges, so children and adults are kept busy. Definitely worth a visit if dinosaurs and fossils are your thing. It's a bit cramped inside, but that has never spoiled our visit.

March 2022


Steve Davies has created a unique and astonishing museum on two spacious floors within the old Baptist Chapel that Mary Anning frequented. The geology and wide range of fossils are explained and exhibited. Steve has also purchased and exhibits the truly remarkable collections of several other Lyme "rock hunters", and in a very nice touch uses short biographical notes to explain their contributions. Fossil and history paradise. Don's miss it!!!

September 2021


Really good morning here, something for all ages, good timelines and lovely dinosaurs to hold for children. Very good.
