First words*

Lyme Regis, a small town on the Dorset coast, shares with the city of Bath the distinction of appearing in the work of Jane Austen, and of being often visited by her admirers on that account.

(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)The less energetic, of course, can still extent their pilgrimage by driving to Charmouth to watch "the flow of the tide" and to sit "in unwearied contemplation" of this lovely stretch of coast.
