This live feed shows the Lyme Regis Harbour, known to locals as “The Cobb”. This harbour, located in Lyme Regis, a coastal town in Dorset, UK, dates back to the 13th century.
The unique curved breakwater visible in this webcam was originally built using timber but was later rebuilt with local limestone and Portland stone. The current structure mostly dates from the 18th century, with several modifications and reconstructions over the years.
The area around the harbour is part of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its geological formations and fossil discoveries. The cliffs around the harbour are a significant source of fossils from the Jurassic period.
Lyme Regis Harbour is the hub of several cultural and community events throughout the year, including the annual Lyme Regis Fossil Festival, which celebrates the town’s rich paleontological heritage.
