The first sight of Lyme from the road. We had to use the road due to a recent landslip on the coast path route. The route from Charmouth now mostly follows the road unfortunately.

The road down to the town centre passes the church of St Michael the Archangel.

In the churchyard lies the grave on Mary Anning (1799 - 1847). Mary was one of the first fossil hunters. Mary was born just down the road on what is now the site of the museum.

The final short leg of the walk to the Dorset/Devon border at Ware is saved for another day.
