From Coade to the Cobb: Belmont Open Days
Belmont, 16 Pound Street, Lyme Regis, Dorset, DT7 3HZ
Eleanor Coade was a trailblazer who devised a formula to mass produce architectural embellishments. More recently Belmont was home to world-famous author, John Fowles, author of The Magus and The French Lieutenant's Woman.
We have restored Belmont to its appearance in Mrs Coade’s day. In the garden there is a Victorian observatory tower, with hatch and revolving roof. Most of the long garden is left wild and it tumbles down to the esplanade, with a pebble beach and the Cobb beyond.
Entry is free and information on the building's history and children's activity sheets will be available. Whilst booking is not essential we would ask that you register for the event via Eventbrite so that we can provide you with updates regarding the event.
Families are welcome and we encourage picnics in the grounds if the weather is fine.

Open Day entry
Due to the historic nature of our buildings we have a limited capacity for our Open Day events. You may therefore be asked to wait a short time while other visitors finish their visit. Whilst booking is not essential, priority will be given to those who have booked in advance. Thank you for your co-operation.
