Lyme Regis is a coastal town in West Dorset, England, situated along the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. The town has gained historical significance for its rich fossil deposits, earning it the nickname "The Pearl of Dorset."
In the early 19th century, it became known for the groundbreaking paleontological discoveries of Mary Anning, who found several important fossils in the area's blue lias cliffs. The town's cultural heritage is deeply connected to its maritime history and geological importance.
Beyond its scientific significance, Lyme Regis has been featured in literature, most notably in Jane Austen's novel "Persuasion" and John Fowles' "The French Lieutenant's Woman." The town maintains its character through its historic Cobb harbor, a distinctive curved harbor wall dating back to the 13th century, and its traditional seaside charm. Today, Lyme Regis continues to attract visitors interested in its geological heritage, maritime history, and cultural offerings.
