Combyne Rousdon is about a 10mins drive to Lyme Regis or an hour’s walk from the property on a coastal footpath. Boasting breath-taking scenery and a special mystique, Lyme Regis is a sparkling resort for all seasons. Its historic Cobb and harbour are iconic features, set against moody blue cliffs yielding fossilised evidence of life on earth millions of years ago.
An ancient town featured in the Domesday Book, Lyme Regis is home to a number of historical landmarks and educational attractions. The picturesque and tranquil Lyme Regis is a great place to discover a lot you didn’t know about the UK's heritage.
Whatever your age and whatever the time of year, you can be sure to find something to delight and entertain you. Lyme Regis has it all - the home of palaeontology, a world-class creative and cultural community, a bustling harbour, gastronomic delights, an array of shops, a calendar full of events, and plenty for the active.
