Lyme Regis is just a short drive away. The Marine Parade and Gun Cliff Walk makes for a beautiful and accessible destination for a day trip to the Jurassic coast.

The town council has two beach wheelchairs so you can access the sandy and pebble beaches, as well as a floating wheelchair so you can enjoy the sea.

The all-terrain wheelchairs can be hired for free by those who need support getting onto the beach and into the water.
