The Heart of the Jurassic Coast: Bridport to Lyme Regis

Before the lockdowns, the second journey along the Heart of the Jurassic Coast took me past some iconic coastline, not least the Golden Cap.


A mist had nearly cleared as I left the port and the sea was calm.


Just outside the port some people were having an early morning swim.


A watery sun was rising over the cliffs to the east, where the British crime drama, Broadchurch, was filmed.


I went close in at the Golden Cap, taking care not to ground on the rocky reefs below the cliffs.

The Golden Cap had a sleepy and somewhat mysterious look.


It did not take long to reach Lyme Regis, a busy port for tourists, visiting yachts and fishing, but managing to retain it's charm.
