A Guide to Lyme Regis Holidays

Lyme Regis Holidays


What Makes Lyme Regis so Special?


So many things. The maritime magic of the old harbour, the glorious beach, the plethora of charming boutique shops and cafes. It’s all here, and much, much more besides. Perched on the Jurassic Coast in one of the sunniest parts of the UK, it’s not hard to see how Lyme Regis earned its nickname the Pearl of Dorset.

When Should you Go?


Lyme Regis is great all year round, but as you would expect, most people come during the summer months. This summer is likely to be a particularly busy one, as special celebrations are planned in the town to mark the passing of the Olympic flame through the streets, in addition to popular returning events such as the Fossil Festival and the Lyme Regis carnival.

With this in mind, if you’re hoping for a quiet, crowd-free holiday then you might want to consider a Springtime visit this year. The first buds of Spring have already appeared and we’re starting to see the weather warming up, which we expect will continue in the coming weeks.

Getting There and Getting Around


Travelling from the Western part of the country is pretty straightforward – just follow the M5 to Taunton, then head to Lyme Regis via Axminster on the A35. Coming from London direction, take the M27 and then A31 to Ringwood. The A35 will then take you through Dorchester, Bridport and on to Lyme Regis.

Once you’re staying here on the Jurassic Coast, you will probably find that you want to walk as many places as possible, in order to take in the sea air and the stunning views. If you do decide to give your legs a rest though, then what better way to see the winding streets of Lyme Regis than by taking a ride in Tukxi, the funky little tuk tuk taxi that will whizz you around the town in style!

Where to Stay?


Why, here of course! Newlands is one of the nicest and most popular Dorset holiday parks, and is just minutes from Lyme Regis, making it an absolutely perfect base for your Lyme Regis Holidays.

'Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff!'

'Friendly staff, the staff in the shop was incredibly welcoming! Loved how we were escorted to our pitch and also offered help with putting the caravan on the pitch. Swimming pool was small but ideal, good sauna! Outdoor pool was lovely also! Facilities were spotless considering we had awful weather they work extremely hard! Very clean site, great value for money!'

"Definitely will be back"

 
Good location with Charmouth beach and lyme regis near. Nice facilities on site and nice rooms. The tow bar restaurant is a gem with great food. Liked the activities on our stay like bingo. Overall a good stay and would love to come back again.
 

"Everything we needed"

Very tidy site, well laid out and well equipped. Towbar restaurant offered a good selection of quality food at all meal times, very good value for money and super friendly service. There is a small shop on site for all your essentials with access to another slightly larger shop in the village. Two pools and children’s play areas plus a gaming room were a real bonus. Shower and toilet blocks were cleaned regularly and always kept in good order. Location is fantastic, especially for avid fossil hunters with Charmouth beach around 20 minutes easy walk away through the village.
 

"What a wonderful place"

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at Newlands. We stayed in the studio apartment block down the end (A17). The apartment was incredibly clean, spacious and had everything we needed for a short stay. My twin sons (3.5 years old) had the twin room, mum had the double bed, and I stayed on a blow up mattress that I brought with. We were very comfy.
