Boat Building Academy |
01297 445545 |
'Practical, professional or purely for pleasure - come and learn boatbuilding or woodworking skills at the Boat Building Academy in Lyme Regis.
Whether you want a professionally recognised boatbuilding qualification, a few days by the sea learning practical skills, or to build your own boat, there is a course for you here in Lyme Regis.
Our boat building training courses are hands-on, taught by experts and vary in length from 1 day to 38 weeks. Based on Lyme Regis's famous Monmouth beach in Dorset. The Academy lies at the heart of the UK's most breathtaking scenery, the Jurassic Coast. This stretch of coastline is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our students come from every profession and from all over the world. Many will go on to work in the marine industries but our courses also appeal to those taking a sabbatical from their 'real' lives or simply escaping the rat race.'

The Lyme Regis Bowling Club, founded in 1937, has 7 rinks and currently has around 120 full members. Feedback from visiting clubs suggests that this is one of the best greens in the South West of England.
The setting down by the Cobb Harbour is a delight, with the sea and beaches close to the green and with a large outdoor raised viewing area overlooking the green. We are open from late April to late September. Hours are 10am to 6pm. There is a fine Clubhouse with a licensed bar that is open to visiting bowlers and limited catering is available with details on request.
Unless the Club has a full rinks fixture at least two rinks are available to the general public to hire and a club steward will be on hand to book you in. Woods and shoes are also for hire.

Walking with our group gives you the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful, unspoilt coastline and countryside of West Dorset, as well as the camaraderie of a friendly group of people.
We try to plan two walks a week, which vary in length from around five to 15 miles but are typically seven or eight miles. They usually start at 10am and each attracts an average of a dozen or so members.
You’re welcome to join us on our walks whether you live in and around the area, or are a visitor to it. Just look at our walks programme, select a walk, ring the leader for details and come along.
After you’ve enjoyed a few walks with us, you’re encouraged to join the Ramblers. As a member you’ll have insurance cover, you can go on group holidays and events, and you can lead walks, You’ll also receive a discount on walking gear at some major outdoor shops. |

Jurassic Coast. Why not use the bus to walk a section of the Coast Path, visit the seaside at Weymouth, Seaton, or Lyme Regis, or go shopping at Exeter or Poole. Alternatively just sit back and enjoy the views from the top
deck. A day out on CoastLINX53
costs so little - a FirstDay Explorer ticket offers unlimited travel
along the route for a day and can also be used on all First bus
