 Boat Building Academy |
'Practical, professional or purely for pleasure - come and learn boatbuilding or woodworking skills at the Boat Building Academy in Lyme Regis.
Whether you want a professionally recognised boatbuilding qualification, a few days by the sea learning practical skills, or to build your own boat, there is a course for you. Our boat building training courses are hands-on, taught by experts and vary in length from 1 day to 38 weeks. Based on Lyme Regis's famous Monmouth beach in Dorset. This stretch of coastline is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our students come from every profession and from all over the world. Many will go on to work in the marine industries but our courses also appeal to those taking a sabbatical from their 'real' lives or simply escaping the rat race.'01297 445545

We are open from late April to late September. Hours are 10am to 6pm.

West Dorset Ramblers |

Walking with our group gives you the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful, unspoilt coastline and countryside of West Dorset, as well as the camaraderie of a friendly group of people.
We try to plan two walks a week, which vary in length from around five to 15 miles but are typically seven or eight miles. They usually start at 10am and each attracts an average of a dozen or so members.
You’re welcome to join us on our walks whether you live in and around the area, or are a visitor to it. Just look at our walks programme, select a walk, ring the leader for details and come along.
After you’ve enjoyed a few walks with us, you’re encouraged to join the Ramblers. As a member you’ll have insurance cover, you can go on group holidays and events, and you can lead walks, You’ll also receive a discount on walking gear at some major outdoor shops.
