Lyme Regis Weekend 26 June 2026 to 29th June 2026 IMPORTANT CHANGES TO OUTWARD TRAVEL ON 26th JUNE SEE BELOW IN COMMENTS

A coastal holiday in the beautiful counties of Dorset and Devon.  You can admire The Cobb in Lyme Regis the stone-built breakwater and jetty which has ‘starred’ in such films as Jane Austen’s Persuasion and The French Lieutenant’s Woman.  There are walks through woodlands, the forested canopy of the Undercliff walk, and rides on the Heritage Seaton Tramway through the Axe Estuary, and, weather permitting, swimming in the sea.  

Full details of the walks, GPX, travel and tide times have now been posted.

Hello. Interested in joining. Should I book accommodation in Lyme Regis rather than in Axminster? Thank yoy

branchline said...

Hello Ana, Lyme Regis is best place to stay. I believe everyone on this trip will be staying in Lyme Regis. If you stay in Axminster you will be relying on coming to all the walks by bus.

Ana said...

Thank you very much

Hi. I can no longer make the trip. I had got the train tickets (return to Axminster, leaving Friday at 10:20 am, back Monday at 20:06) for £41. Happy to transfer it for £20 if anybody is interested.

Is anybody taking late train to Axminster on Friday? (for sharing taxi to Lime Regis)

Travel change:
Just had an email from SWR to say 10.20am on Friday 26th is cancelled BUT that I can take a train immediately before or after that train, and to carry my email just in case. Checked train timetable, and am inclined to catch the 9.25 train changing at Salisbury and arriving Axminster 13.18. There is also the 10.25 train from Waterloo, arriving Axminster at 14.19.
Paul and I planning to catch the 09.25 and then have a leisurely tea Railway Kitchen café on the station platform, and set off at an easy pace towards Lyme Regis. Café open till 3pm, last orders (for food presumably)1.30.
Please bring plenty of water with you.

Hello team Lyme ! I’m coming down on Friday night after work, returning Sunday after the hike. Is there a what's app group set up for this trip yet ? If so I’d like to be added please .

Gabriella said...

Hi Luby - Yes ! I’d love to share a taxi. Am staying in Lyme. Was planning on taking the 18.25 from Waterloo, how about you ? Gabriella

Gabriella said...

Ok no problem

Judith said...

Gabriella, I was getting the 18.23 but it seems to be cancelled so am likely to get either an earlier one, if i can, or the 18.25 which gets in much later (change at Salisbury) I'm planning to book a taxi once i know which train I'm on - judithharries[at]yahoo.co.uk, let me know what train you are on.

Gabriella said...

Hi Judith, it’s good to e-meet you. Yes, the same for me, now the journey takes over an hour longer , very annoying ! At least the trains are still running, be grateful for that I suppose. I am planning on taking the 18.25 but if you want the 17.25 l will see if I can leave work early enough to catch that. I’d much rather share a taxi than be alone in Axminster station at 11 pm ! So please let me know what you decide by lunchtime today if you can. Thank you.
