Where to stay

Book a seafront suite at The Bell Cliff House for panoramic views over Lyme Bay and Charmouth Cliffs. Cinephiles may well get a sense of déjà vu, as this cosy cottage appeared in Ammonite (from £135 per night; airbnb.co.uk). Alternatively, wallow in the lap of luxury at the Alexandra, a historic house with seven elegant boudoirs (the Countess’s Room is shown above). An on-site massage at the end of the day is sure to ready you for more coastal adventures (from £180 per night; hotelalexandra.co.uk).
