Lyme Regis to Axminster via Hawkchurch Walk

This is a gently undulating walk starting along the river Lim in Lyme Regis, then onto the Wessex Ridgeway and through the woods of Hole Common. Some parts maybe boggy depending on recent rainfall. After this you cross the A35. TAKE CARE, best using the central reservation some 100 metres to the left. Continue on through Wyld Warren, another wood, and finally along Evil Lane into Axminster.

Lyme Regis is linked by several bus lines to train stations at Axminster and Weymouth. Axminster is a stop on the West of England Main Line from Basingstoke to Exeter St. David's. Travel time to Waterloo is from 160 minutes. Weymouth is the southern terminus of the South West Main Line. Travel time to Waterloo is from 165 minutes.
