Adults-only tree-lined terrace field three miles from Lyme Regis
A 10-minute drive from Charmouth Beach and The Cobb
Pub serving food, a basic shop and bus stop a few minutes’ walk away

Whether it’s evening ambles and brunches down The Cobb harbour or rummaging for fossils somewhere along the beach, Chippers Field is well situated for taking up activities on the seaside around Lyme Regis. Three miles from the ancient town, this quiet adults-only site has its own scenery for show, as the south-facing tree-lined terrace field is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with plenty of wildlife in the field. On Raymond’s Hill, you’ll be just off the A35 and a few minutes’ walk away from a bus stop, so getting about shouldn’t be a problem. In fact, there’s the market village of Axminster five minutes’ drive away (for walks along the river Axe perhaps, or a foodie-focused trip out?) Of course, Lyme Regis is 10 minutes’ drive away too… just the spot for pubs, restaurants and shops, strolls along The Cobb or putting in a plan of action for the Jurassic Coast’s renowned fossil-hunting stretch between the town and the Golden Cap Estate. When you don’t feel like going very far at all, there’s a pub serving food just a few minutes’ walk from the site or a local shop for all the basics next door to the pub for snack gathering (ready for local walks and cycling trails, perhaps?) You may have already seen it on the telly, but River Cottage (where the TV show was indeed filmed) is also half an hour’s walk away and runs a cookery school and dining events.

Local attractions

It might feel like beach days are calling your name around here – and that could be down to high numbers of local coves. Perhaps you’ll want to hire a paddleboard or kayak for a peaceful paddle from Seaton Beach (15 minutes' drive) or it might be Charmouth Beach (10 minutes) that first catches your attention, for its fossil-finding walking tours or lagoon for boating? Of course, there’s the South West Coast Path between them all for those of you who’d like to track them down on foot (at least, part of the way, as this goes on for miles). Further along the coast, Exmouth (45 minutes) is a watersports haven in its own right, with surfing, kayaking and windsurfing all to be had. You’ve already heard of Charmouth’s fossils, but what about Beer Stone? This is what makes up the manmade Beer Quarry Caves (20 minutes). Here, you’ll get to take a tour of the 2000-year-old caverns to see the limestone that’s been quarried for years on years. This is historic in its own way, but for another outing that brings some history to the table, the country house at Forde Abbey House and Gardens (20 minutes) might fit the bill.
