Lyme Regis
Getting Here and Around
Lyme Regis is off the A35, extending west from Bournemouth and Dorchester. Drivers should park as soon as possible—there are lots at the top of town—and explore the town on foot. First buses run here from Dorchester and Axminster, 6 mi northwest; the latter town is on the main rail route from London Waterloo and Salisbury.
