Cobb in Lyme Regis
Cobb is a historic stone pier located in Lyme Regis, a small town on the south coast of England in the county of Dorset. The pier is situated at the eastern end of Lyme Regis and is one of the town's most recognizable landmarks.
The Cobb was built in the 13th century as a simple wooden structure, and was later reconstructed with stone in the 18th century to protect the town's harbor from storms and rough seas. It is around 270 meters long and is made up of two arms which extend out into the sea, forming a sheltered harbor for boats and ships.
The Cobb has played an important role in the history of Lyme Regis, and has been featured in many literary works, including Jane Austen's novel "Persuasion" and John Fowles' "The French Lieutenant's Woman". It has also been used as a location for several films, including "The French Lieutenant's Woman" and "Ammonite".
