View of the Cobb at Lyme Regis

Highlight • Viewpoint

The harbour for Lyme Regis is called the Cobb. No satisfactory explanation of the name exists but a man made construction has served as a refuge here since at least 1313. The earliest known drawing, made in 1539, shows a basic shape similar to the present construction, and this was built after the westerly gales breached the breakwater in 1824. There have been additions since that date but the major part of the Cobb dates from then. It was connected to the mainland in 1756 and the North Wall was built in 1823.

Lyme Regis Seafront Promenade

Highlight • Rest Area

Lyme Regis is a very pretty and interesting seaside town. The seafront has a concrete pedestrian promenade along its full length, this makes a great run if you are early/late enough to avoid the crowds.

There are plenty of ice cream sellers or cafés if you need a refuel, but I recommend the Town Mill bakery on Coombe Street.
