NATURAL LANDSCAPE<br />

If you want to get closer to nature, the<br />

countryside is right on the doorstep.<br />

A walk along the River Lym will take you<br />

away from the town centre and into<br />

the rural areas within 10 minutes. <strong>The</strong><br />

valley of the Lym is just over three miles<br />

long, meandering through fields and<br />

woods until you get across the border to<br />

Uplyme in Devon.<br />

<strong>The</strong> path will take you over footbridges,<br />

through meadows, and past an old<br />

thatched mill, with a handy pub at the<br />

end of your walk.<br />

<strong>The</strong> geology of the coast around <strong>Lyme</strong><br />

<strong>Regis</strong> has helped create one of the great<br />

wilderness areas of southern England –<br />

the Undercliff National Nature Reserve.<br />

This seven-mile undulating path to<br />

Axmouth in Devon reveals an incredible<br />

diversity of wildlife and plant life.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Lyme</strong> Bay reefs are considered to<br />

be nationally important conservation<br />

features, home to over 1,400 species<br />

of marine fauna and flora. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />

plenty of opportunities to explore <strong>Lyme</strong><br />

Bay by boat, from one of the many trips<br />

operating from the harbour.<br />
