Lyme Regis is a coastal town with around 3,743 residents (2021 census), perched on the Jurassic Coast where a young fossil hunter once combed the cliffs.
The fossil hunter who reshaped how we see prehistoric life
Lyme Regis was the birthplace and lifelong home of Mary Anning (1799-1847), who began hunting fossils on the beaches as a child and went on to make discoveries — including an ichthyosaur skeleton found with her brother — that helped transform early palaeontology. The crumbling cliffs along this stretch of the Jurassic Coast are still one of the richest fossil-hunting grounds in Britain.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Lyme Regis shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — Lyme Regis shoppers might otherwise find themselves travelling to Exeter or Yeovil for a wider selection.
