Lyme Regis and the Dorset coast

So many coastal towns in the south-west of England seem to have been unable to resist the temptation to install pontoons for yachts and small boats to moor at, and in many instances this has completely spoilt the opportunity for decent photographs. This particular set, which is attached to the famous Cobb, must surely run the risk of severe damage from winter gales unless the plan is to remove them for the winter. In the background is the beautiful seaside town of Lyme Regis. This is surrounded by unstable land and cliffs, and as a result development has been severely limited. There have been numerous cliff falls, especially to the east of the town, and these invariably uncover a new treasure trove of fossils - something Lyme Regis is particularly renowned for.
