Some Lyme Regis Cottages

Lyme Regis is a historic resort lying on the south coast of Dorset. It is nicknamed 'The Pearl of Dorset', possibly for its breathtaking natural scenery. Lyme Regis is the most westerly town in the county. Taking its name from the Lym, Lyme Regis is situated at the little river's mouth. The town gets its first mention in 774 in connection with a manor and salt rights granted to Sherborne Abbey by the Saxon King Cynolf. In the early days the monks distilled the salt from the sea. Lyme was granted royal charter by Edward I in 1284 when it became Lyme Regis.
