About

Lyme & Charmouth ward encompasses a stretch of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. The area is defined by its coastal geology, with active landslides and fossil-rich cliffs. The town of Lyme Regis, with its historic Cobb harbour, lies within the ward. Inland, the landscape transitions to steep valleys and farmland.

The ward includes the village of Charmouth, known for its fossil hunting on the beach. The area's economy is linked to tourism, coastal defence, and local fishing. Landslips along the undercliff create a unique wilderness of tangled vegetation and hidden pathways. Coastal erosion continuously shapes both the physical landscape and community planning here.
