Lyme Regis - Town, Mill & Gardens

Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...

The route is okay for pushchairs but unfortunately, wheelchair users will struggle with the steep hills, narrow pavements and a step just before the riverside path. There is one series of steps on the route but an alternate, step-free route is pointed out in the Trail.

Bring your four-legged friends along! This is a dog-friendly Trail.

The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is Monmouth Beach Car Park (DT7 3JN). If this is busy, then you also have the option of the larger Holmbush Car Park (DT7 3HX) which is a 10 minute walk to the start.

There are some fantastic events in Lyme Regis’ calendar, all of which are fantastic times to visit this beautiful town. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. If you would like further information about event dates, please contact Visit Dorset.

There are public toilets available at Monmouth Beach Car Park, on the Cobb, the seafront, and Broad Street. The route passes several pubs, shops and cafes along the way.
