6 Boat Tours & Water Sports in Lyme Regis That You Shouldn't Miss
Lyme Regis /ˌlaɪmˈriːdʒɪs/ is a town in West Dorset, England, 25 miles (40 km) west of Dorchester and 25 miles (40 km) east of Exeter. It lies at Lyme Bay on the English Channel coast at the Dorset–Devon border. It is nicknamed "The Pearl of Dorset". It is noted for fossils found in cliffs and beaches that are part of the Heritage Coast—known commercially as the Jurassic Coast—a World Heritage Site. The harbour wall known as "The Cobb" appears in Jane Austen's novel Persuasion, in the John Fowles novel The French Lieutenant's Woman, and in the 1981 film of the same name, which was partly shot in Lyme Regis. Its one-time mayor and MP was Admiral Sir George Somers, who founded the English colonial settlement of the Somers Isles, now known as Bermuda. Lyme Regis is twinned with St George's, Bermuda. In July 2015 Lyme Regis also became "tripled" with Jamestown, Virginia, as the Historic Atlantic Triangle of Lyme, St George's and Jamestown. The 2011 Census gave the parish and electoral ward a population of 3,671.

One hour mackerel fishing trips leave Lyme Regis harbour all day long.Adults £15 Children £10.Come and catch your supper whilst cruising along the Jurassic Coast.Also available are three hour deep sea fishing trips from 8.30 to 11.30am,£45 for adults and £30 for children including rod and bait. People absolutely love these trips and its quite possible to have your catch cooked for you on your return to the harbour. Herbies will cook your catch for you , £6 your fish and their chips. The fish is cooked on the griddle and because its so fresh tastes delicious, Herbies is four minutes walk from the boat. Please make sure you ask the skipper well before the end of the trip that you would like your fish cooked for you and he will prepare it and remove all the bones. Sound like a good idea?
