friendly informal venue for either coffee, lunch or tea. There is a florist, a bike shop and the well Symondsbury Stores selling local produce. A good place to leave the car and walk, exploring Colmers Hill and Hell Lane (an ancient Dorset Holloway). Julia Bradbury recently did this walk on her TV programme.

A 10 minute drive from Lyme Regis on the Seaton /Sidmouth Road. It's a great place to go out for breakfast. It's an old petrol station where you'll find a help-yourself feast of fantastic breads (love the sourdough), croissants, pastries and a pot bubbling away waiting for you to boil an egg. Bacon and egg stacks and BLTs also available. Very laid back atmosphere.
