The Cobb

On Friday I had a day out in Dorset with Jim, Darren and Lee. We visited several locations during the day and overall, it was a fun, but long and tiring day as we didn't get back home until midnight.

 

Setting my alarm for 3:30am and leaving at 4am we left Plymouth for our first stop, The Cobb at Lyme Regis. We got there about 30 minutes before sunrise and set up on top of the sea wall here. The sunrise wasn't the most spectacular but it was a good start to the day.

 

We didn't spend too long here after the sun had risen as we all needed breakfast, so we headed into Bridport for a nice fry up before heading to our next location.

 

The Cobb is an old stone wall forming an extensive harbour and believed to date from the time of Edward I. The origin of the name is unknown, but there are records of an ancient feast called the “Cobb Ale Feast”.

With a length of 870 feet, the curve of the Cobb forms a great lead in line towards the sea.
