John and Julia invited us to stay with them in Somerset and treated us to a trip to Lyme Regis, part of the Jurassic Coast famous for geology and fossils, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The beach and cliffs are rather spectacular and I loved the ammonite shaped lamp posts.
Lyme Regis' harbour wall is called the Cobb and was built as a breakwater to protect ships and the town.We walked along the Cobb - it's pretty cool as it curves around and you can walk on top of the wall as well as down by the water. Famous for a certain film too.
After a delicious lunch of local Crab we drove the short distance to Beer in East Devon. What a beautiful little coastal town. Beautiful smooth pebbles. Pretty wooden beach huts. Stripey deckchairs. Stunning white cliffs. It was just magical, sitting on the pebbles enjoying a pot of tea.
And thank you also to Alan and Janet for a delicious lunch stop on our way home.
