From Coade to the Cobb: Belmont Open Days

Join us to explore Belmont, part of Heritage Open Days. This fine 18th-century maritime villa in Lyme Regis is listed Grade II* and once belonged to the remarkable businesswoman, Mrs Eleanor Coade who devised a formula to mass produce architectural embellishments.
Everyone is welcome to visit and explore our Landmarks and find out what we do as a charity. We’re family friendly and if the weather is good, we invite you to bring a picnic and enjoy the garden. Refreshments will also be available by Lyme Regis Sea Scouts

 Pre-booking preferred, but drop-in visitors are welcome. To book or find more information, visit: Belmont Open Day

 The Landmark Trust welcomes everyone to explore our buildings during open days and learn more about our mission to rescue and revive endangered historic buildings across Britain.

Wednesday 23rd September 2026

Autumnal Equinox:

The Earth is tilted on its axis. This means that the Sun illuminates the northern or southern hemisphere more depending on where the Earth is along its orbit.

However, at two points in the year the Sun will illuminate the northern and southern hemispheres equally. These are known as the equinoxes.

  The Autumn Equinox is the first day of the autumn season and occurs when the sun passes the equator moving from the northern to the southern hemisphere. The sun is directly overhead at the equator and day and night are of approximately equal lengths. At equinox, the Sun rises everywhere on Earth (except the Poles) at about 6am in the morning and sets at about 6pm in the evening (though this can vary a little when time zones and daylight saving etc are taken into account).

WALKS and Tours

Do take advice about safe tide times before setting off for more than fifteen minutes hike, without a guide, along our beautiful beaches: - what appears to be an easy bit of ground to scramble over is more likely to be a treacherous mud slide - don't take a chance!

FOSSIL WALKS

Get Fossiling on the Jurassic Coast! Join one of Lyme Regis Museum’s famous fossil walks along this historic stretch of Dorset coast with Geologist Paddy Howe and Marine Biologist Chris Andrew. Some families return time and again to search with Paddy and Chris among the sand and rocks for fossils that have been washed down onto the beach after 190 million years. For adults and children alike, it’s an unforgettable experience. 

Each walk is limited to 15 people per guide. Start times for walks vary according to the tides and take about three hours.
