Lyme Regis to Axminster

Lyme Regis to Axminster Monday 30^th June 2025

 

Description: This is another pretty route through quiet woods, streams, fields and lanes.  This is a different route from the one we took on Friday.

Length: 11.9 miles

Toughness: 4/10

 GPX: Lyme Regis to Axminster

 Detail: this is a gently undulating walk starting along the river Lim in town, then onto the Wessex Ridgeway and through the woods of Hole Common.  Some parts maybe boggy depending on recent rainfall.   After this you cross the A35.  TAKE CARE as fast traffic both ways.  If you walk to your left along this road for roughly 100m, there may be a safer place to cross using the central reservation.  Continue on through Wyld Warren, another wood, and finally along Evil Lane into Axminster.  Plenty of shops, cafes pubs in Axminster (if you have time to linger) otherwise purchase supplies for the train

 Meet at the clocktower on the seafront at 10am.

 Lunch:  Buy something to eat and drink before setting off as no pubs or shops on this route until you get to Axminster.
