Lyme Regis is the gateway to a remarkable stretch of the Jurassic Coast. Here I explore the walks, beaches, cliffs, villages and landscapes around Lyme, Charmouth, Golden Cap, Lambert’s Castle, Beer and Branscombe.

The Victoria Hotel in Sidmouth is one of Devon's grandest seaside hotels. I spent a relaxing break enjoying its new Source Spa, elegant sea-view rooms, award-winning dining and the timeless charm of one of England's most traditional coastal resorts.
