Lyme Regis, with its ancient Cobb Harbour - whence ships sailed to meet the Armada - remains unspoilt yet offers a wide range of activities. For the more energetic there is golfing, deep sea fishing, windsurfing, sailing, canoeing, safe bathing, fossil gathering and limitless walking in lovely countryside and along coastal paths. Subject to season, trout fishing can be arranged locally through the Red House. For others the rich scenery and pretty villages make car touring a delight. Within a short radius lies an abundance of venues which cater for all ages and a comprehensive range of interests.
