Lyme Bay on the Jurassic Coast
West Dorset & East Devon offers the most
beautiful and unspoilt stretch of scenic “Jurassic”
coastline with dramatic contrasting red and
white cliffs, surrounding spectacular countryside,
dotted with picturesque villages and small
historic towns.
Daniel Defoe considered the area of East Devon
“the finest in the world.” Its special landscape
has been protected to preserve and enhance its
natural beauty, a designated “World Heritage Site”.
Starting in Exmouth and ending 95 miles later in
Swanage the coast proceeds through 185 million
years of the earths history which can be seen in
the rocks of the cliffs.
The ‘Official Guide to the Jurassic Coast’ is
available from the Tourist Information Centres.
COASTLINE X53 BUS
A high quality popular bus service operating
between Exeter and Poole throughout the
World Heritage Site.
Operated by low floor double deck buses
offering a 2 hourly service throughout the week
with extra services during holiday times. This
service exists to help visitors enjoy the Jurassic
Coast experience which is further enhanced by
stunning coastal, countryside and village views
from the top deck. www.traveline.info

south west coast path
The South West Coast Path National Trail is a
630 mile adventure around the coastline of the
southwest peninsula. From Minehead on the
edge of the Exmoor National Park all the way to
the shores of Poole Harbour, it is simply the best
way to enjoy the scenery, wildlife and heritage of
this wonderful coastline.
In our local area it takes in the entire coastline
of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty and of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage
Site which extends from Exmouth to just beyond
Swanage in Dorset. It provides a continuous
walking route which is just as suitable for gentle
meandering as it is for Dedicated walkers on
longer hikes. There is so much to view and enjoy.
The contrasting scenery with dramatic cliffs, rich
flora and fauna, magnificent beaches, quaint
villages and towns - all these and so much more
lie on the route of the South West Coast Path,
which is well signed with the acorn symbol used
for all National Trails.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW & BOOKING CONDITIONS

of £20 per week or part week per dog will be made and at
some properties a security deposit will be required.
• Please check with office if you wish to bring more than
one dog, large breed or have a pet other than a dog.
If under one year old please contact the office to obtain
permission from the property owner.
• Bring pets own bedding/basket/food bowls.
• Pets must not be allowed on furniture, in the bedrooms
or left alone unsupervised on the premises.

please bear in mind that many were built without damp
proof courses, uneven floors or easy stair gradient and low

cobwebs. It must be expected that there can be some noise
from farm animals, tractors, seagulls etc. All distances are
approximate but are given to the best of our judgement and
in good faith.
Guests who bring a pet without permission are in breach
of contract and the Agent/Owner can immediately end the
booking and no monies will be returned.

to accommodate guests with specific requirements where
possible, e.g. a disability, medical condition, allergy. Please

interior of a property may request from our office an access
statement prepared by our owners.

owners know the importance of the comfort and safely of
their guests. However, you and your party must take care
yourselves, as you will be in unfamiliar surroundings.
