Our Story
Lyme Rocks, our contemporary and ‘funky’ sweet shop, is in the lovely town of Lyme Regis, on the Jurassic Coast.
Lyme Rocks started life in 2018 as a family run sweet shop in the beautiful Dorset town of Lyme Regis. The family consists of Mum Fiona, Dad Leo, two beautiful daughters Bella and Frankie and the family dog Harper.
Our Shop
Our shop means a lot to us and we pride ourselves on making shopping with us a really great experience - the shop itself is full of bright colours and decorations which you're sure to enjoy!
We have over 200 jars of different sweets which we lovingly package ourselves but we also stock a wide variety of other favourites including an array of American sweets which are incredibly popular.
Whatever your taste we have something for you!
We are located at the iconic Guildhall in Lyme Regis, just metres from one of the most popular beaches in the South West for holiday-makers and fossil hunters alike.
The history of The Guildhall can be traced back as far as the Stuart period. The main chamber with its curved ceiling and coat of arms was once the local court and the main body of the building, including the Mayor's Parlour, was built in 1887 on the site of the town's lock-up.
Lyme Rocks is situated in the coastal town of Lyme Regis in Dorset, sat in heart of the absolutely stunning Lyme Bay. The bay forms part of what is termed the Jurassic Coast which stretches for 95 miles between Studland Bay in Dorset, and Exmouth in East Devon, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for very good reason.
We are spoilt with wonderful sea and country views, fantastic walks including that of the South West Coast Path, and all the delights that the abundant fossil hunting opportunities bring.
There is so much to do in Lyme Regis and the surrounding area for couples and families alike, including fantastic restaurants and bars, independent shops, museums, dinosaur-themed attractions, and holiday parks. But a trip to Lyme Rocks should most definitely be at the top of your to-do list!
