This charming coastal town has a lot to offer and it is affectionately called the “Pearl of Dorset” because of its breathtaking natural beauty. Whether you wish to hunt for fossils, relax by the multiple beaches and soak up the rare English sun, hike along the South West Coast Path, or explore the many museums here, Lyme Regis has a lot to offer.
