Why Lyme Regis is Magical in Winter

Winter Walks with Stunning Views

The South West Coastal Path is breathtaking year-round, but winter offers a quieter, more serene experience. Wrap up warm and enjoy uninterrupted views of the rugged cliffs, windswept beaches, and dramatic seascapes. Don’t miss a stroll along the iconic Cobb, where you can feel the history and enjoy the bracing sea breeze.

Cozy Cafes and Pubs to Warm Up

Lyme Regis boasts a fantastic selection of cafes and pubs, perfect for retreating from the cold. Sip on a rich hot chocolate or a warming mulled cider at local favorites like The Town Mill Bakery or The Harbour Inn. After a day of exploring, these cozy venues are ideal for indulging in locally sourced delights and reconnecting over a hearty meal.

Fossil Hunting Without the Crowds

Winter is one of the best times for fossil hunting on the Jurassic Coast, thanks to the increased wave activity revealing treasures hidden beneath the cliffs. Head to Monmouth or Charmouth Beach with a sturdy pair of boots and a sense of adventure—you might even uncover a piece of prehistoric history!
