Images this week from a New Year holiday spent at Lyme Regis in Dorset.

Lyme Regis.

Saturday 28th Dec and a lot of people walking on the promenade, no doubt trying to work off the excesses of Christmas.

A Christmas adorns the beach at the historical Cobb Harbour.

With setting sun and darkening clouds these people silhouetted are walking on the historic Cobb breakwater.

After a few days of rain and bad weather, we awoke one day to this marvellous sunrise.

The sun rising over Lyme Regis.

This curved breakwater at Lyme Regis is known as the Cobb and was used as a set in the 1981 film "The French Lieutenant's Women" starring Meryl Streep.

With no barriers and breaking waves like this it can be very hazardous on the Cobb.

The main street in Lyme Regis.

This cannon overlooking the coast was once used as a mooring post in the harbour until retrieved and mounted in its present position.

The Town Mill parts of which date back to 1340 is so called because the town owned the mill. It has now been restored to a fully working water mill with regular milling demonstrations.

The river Lym runs through the town and the riverside walk follows the river down to the sea .

A lovely old thatched cottage situated on the promenade.

Another day draws to a close as the sun sets on Lyme Regis.
