Lyme Regis is known as the ‘Pearl of Dorset’, befitting of a stunningly beautiful seaside town located on the coast of Dorset.
This historic fishing port is found at the mouth of the River Lym and is an incredibly popular place to live in Dorset. Here are some key points about Lyme Regis:
Lyme Regis supports good rail connections to the local towns and cities, only 40 minutes away from Exeter, 3 hours from London. The local town of Axminster is only a 15-minute drive away.
With some ‘outstanding’ schools, Lyme Regis is great for families.
The property market is vast and there seems to be something for everyone. A three-bed semi will cost you under £250,000; but properties can sell for upwards of £1million here.
Lyme Regis was the filming location for The French Lieutenant’s Woman in 1981, bolstering Lyme Regis’ popularity and fame.
History of Lyme Regis
The first written evidence of a settlement here goes back to 774AD when it was initially gifted to the Abbot of Sherborne to set up a salt works.
In 1284, Lyme was granted a royal charter to add the title of ‘Regis’ to its name. Fast forward through the wars and sieges to the 18th century.
During this time, Lyme Regis had become a popular seaside resort, with influential artists, poets and writers visiting here throughout this time.
In 1903, Lyme Regis was granted a railway station, creating a boom in tourism. Sadly, in the 1960s, the town lost its railway due to huge cutbacks in a national scheme.
Currently, Lyme Regis attracts thousands of fossil hunters every year, and many have their eyes set on Lyme Regis as their future home.
Lyme Regis Property Prices
The average property price during March 2020 was £445,884, a fair amount higher than the average for the county.

In the past 12 months, the property value has increased by 1.08%, and over the past five years, it has changed by 20.98%. This just goes to show how popular this region in the UK is.
