Your photos are absolutely stunning. I have never been to Lyme but I would love to go there, especially to see that magnificent ammonite!

Thank you, Jo. You’re very kind. Lyme Regis is a lovely place. An ‘old fashioned’ seaside resort but with plenty of real interest from a natural history, historical, and cultural point of view. Well worth a visit. There always seems to be something new to see or do.

Thank you, Adrian. All the pictures in the post were taken on just one walk along the shore. There is always lots to see – except that now some parts are not so accessible because of the cliff falls and mud slides of last winter.
