Haye Farm Holidays

Head out of Lyme Regis and into the treetops course at The Tunnel Tree Tops Charmouth (10 minutes’ drive) where the zipwires are likely put your bravery to the test. Down below, ground yourself again in the Beer Quarry Caves (20 minutes) in Seaton for a tour of the man-made caves and a pretty mighty underground cathedral. Wave at the passersby as you ride the heritage Seaton Tramway (15 minutes). On a tram in the shape of a double-decker bus, you’ll pass by the river Axe and nature reserves in the Axe Valley (keep an eye out for waddling waterbirds as you go). There’s a lighter model railway in Pecorama (20 minutes). Look around the model village and duck into the walled secret garden for what's likely to be a rather fanciful time. Next, pay a visit to the meerkats, chipmunks and flamingos at Axe Valley Wildlife Park (10 minutes). If you’re interested in marine life too, there’s a hands-on aquarium back at the Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium (five minutes) with the chance to feed fish.
