About

The Lyme Regis, Charmouth and Marshwood Vale area is defined by its geology and landscape. The coastal towns sit within the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, known for its fossil-rich cliffs and landslips. Inland, the Marshwood Vale forms a distinct, low-lying basin of farmland, enclosed by a ring of hills including Pilsdon Pen and Lewesdon Hill, which is Dorset's highest point.

This is a region shaped by natural history. The beaches at Charmouth and Lyme Regis are internationally significant for fossil hunting, with finds managed by the local museum. Agriculture dominates the quiet, pastoral vale, a contrast to the coastal focus on heritage and tourism. The area's lanes connect scattered villages and ancient churches, following the contours of this ancient terrain.
