The Cobb - Lyme Regis

'The Cobb...is quite simply the most beautiful sea-rampart on the south coast of England. And not only because it is, as the guide-books say, redolent of seven hundred years of English history, because ships saled to meet the Armada from it, because Monmoith landed beside it...but finally because it is a superb fragment of folk-art.'

John Fowles -
The French Lieutenant's Woman

I really enjoyed the day I spent in Lyme Regis. Whilst there I bought a copy of The French Lieutenant's Woman from a delightful second hand bookshop and later went for a walk along the aforementioned Cobb - which appears in the book and, famously, the film.

This scene is the first encounter with 'Tragedy' in the film
