Lyme Regis

Susan begins a tour of some of Britain's best-loved seaside resorts as, each week, she visits a seaside town to enjoy all it has to offer.

Over the next editions: Susan starts beside the sea in lovely Lyme Regis, next she's off to Eastbourne to enjoy its elegant pier and promenade. She then heads to Wales and has a blast in Barry Island. She travels to Yorkshire for beach cricket in Bridlington, before ending her adventures in Cromer with a glorious trip on the North Norfolk railway. It's fast paced and full of joy a seaside treat from start to finish!

Susan begins her seaside holiday trips in Lyme Regis on the south coast, starting at the historic harbour, the Cobb. From here she makes her way along the jetty bumping into a group preparing for a game of water polo in the sea. She stops for a chat and can't resist some over enthusiastic umpiring. Full of seaside fun, Susan makes a beeline for the amusements – she's feeling lucky and is keen to win a prize!

Lyme Regis is on Dorset's Jurassic coast and on Monmouth beach Susan meets chef and forager Harriet who shows Susan a locally-sourced twist to accompany the classic seaside favourite, fish and chips. Back at the bustling harbour, Susan takes to the water with the local Gig Boat racing team. It's a bit choppy and so what better way to relax afterwards than in Lyme's beachfront sauna followed by an exhilarating dip in the sea.

On the promenade Susan meets showbiz legend and Carry On star Anita Harris who is in for a treat from the shanty singing Chantry Buoys. In the historic town, Anita visits a jeweller and makes an ammonite shaped pendant inspired by Lyme's rich Jurassic past. Later, Susan is in search of an ice cream and discovers that Lyme locals have supersized their seaside treat to a croffle – a delicious duo where a waffle meets a croissant topped with cream and ice cream!

Beyond the town Susan uncovers the perfect seaside stay, a converted shepherd's hut with stunning views over the rolling Dorset hills. Before she leaves, there's time to snap up a souvenir - you can never have too many tea towels - and one last stroll along the iconic Cobb, paying homage to a movie favourite The French Lieutenant's Woman filmed here in Lyme Regis – in Susan's own inimitable style.
