It’s Travel Tuesday, and this time I am going to give you an idea for a stay-cation.
Lyme Regis is a lovely seaside town, Charmouth Road is the best car park we have found to park in, there is a short 15-20 min walk from here to the town. There are car parks in the town, however the town is quite small and the corners can get tight to get around. I would recommend parking in Charmouth Road and walking. It is a pay and display car park and requires license plate input.
The walk down to the town, involves stairs up and down from the car park to the sea front and then along the sea front in a straight line to the town. You can not get lost, the wind can bite however so make sure you have layers. The town is all old stone buildings with traditional shops including a very lovely book store with stake and stake of books. It has a old green front – believe me you would miss it if you don’t know it is there.
There are ice cream shops and fish and chips places all long the front. If you walk up the hill along the high street, there are some chain shops however there are also some amazing quaint shops to pick up something a little different for friends or family. There is a lovely pub at the top of the hill, small but does great food and a cold beer great for a summer morning.
There is a pier you can walk to along the front – again the shops along there are a mix of chains, cafes, restaurants and unique little shops. It is a lovely English Seaside town, and well worth the visit once we have passed this stage.
Until next time.
