Jurassic Glamping

Head to Lyme Regis, a seaside town 15 minutes’ drive from Jurassic Glamping, where you can go back in time at the museum, dive under the sea at the aquarium and explore some of the spectacular beaches of the Jurassic Coast. Mary Anning, fossil hunter extraordinaire of the 19th century, used to call Lyme Regis home – you can now visit Dinosaurland Fossil Museum to see a collection of the fossils that gave this part of Devon its name. The village of Beer is 10 miles along the coast and is well worth a visit. It’s not named for the beverage so don’t expect beer tents on every corner, but there’s still plenty to do in the scenic fishing village: take the kids to Pecorama and its miniature railway, go below ground for a tour of the Beer Quarry Caves, explore the East Devon Area of Natural Beauty or simply relax at the beach. Speaking of beer, grownups might like to try a pub crawl with a difference: you can join the South West Coast Path where it passes through Lyme Regis, stopping in at the seaside pubs that dot its length – the path is suitable for all ages so, with kids in tow, you might want to trade in the round of pints for a few soft drinks.
