Lyme - 08-08-2009

What a fantastic day trip and a way to celebrate a birthday even if it was a 250 mile round trip (the google map below is slightly out but it's close enough to the trip we made). Why Lyme? It is the setting for some of Jane Austen's Persuasion, including a fateful accident on the Cobb. On the beachfront there were two cottages Benwick and Harville named after Captain Benwick and Captain Harville from the book.





The view from the car park at Lyme



View of the Cobb from the start of the promenade



On top of the Cobb, so you can appreciate how uneven the surface is on the top. I wouldn't fancy trying to walk along it in bad weather.



Panoramic view from the end of the Cobb across Lyme bay.



Walking on to the dog friendly part of the beach so Charlie could have some fun too



I'm not sure Charlie has ever been to the seaside, I know I've never taken him, but he did soon find his sea legs.



Tentatively dipping his toes in...



Getting the hang of this...



Old Salty the Sea Dog!
