History & Heritage

Museum Entry & Town History Walk (Peter)

Combine your visit to Lyme Regis Museum with an entertaining Town History Walk by one of our knowledgeable Museum Guides. Redeem your entry ticket anytime from 10am in the Museum. Meet outside the Museum for the Walk. TOWN WALK – Our Guide, Peter, has been living in Lyme Regis since 2018 after retiring from the British Army in 2017. He was interested in the local history and has since developed his personal interest into a guided walk so that he can share Lyme’s fascinating story with others. Starting at the Museum the walk lasts for about an hour and covers a wide span of historical events from the 9th century right up to the present day. The walk avoids most of Lyme’s challenging inclines and provides opportunities for further individual exploration and discovery. Museum Admission & Town History Walk included in ticket price. Book a Walk Here > Instructions for booking: Please select the amount of tickets you would like and click ‘Continue’. Choose a Walk date (only dates with availability will show on the calendar). Click ‘Continue’ and then ‘Select’ to add the Walk to your basket. Follow further instructions to pay for the items in your basket.
