The Cobb, Lyme Regis, Dorset - a photo on Flickriver

            The Cobb an old stone pier forming an extensive harbour and believed to date from the time of Edward I. The origin of the name is  unknown, but there are records of an ancient feast called the “Cobb Ale Feast”.

With a length of 870 feet the curve of the Cobb forms a fine promenade though its upper surface slopes to the sea at an appreciable angle. Its high wall makes it a double promenade and walkers have a choice of shelter or a  glorious blow.

The eastern section ends with the Victoria Pier, so-called after the Princess Victoria landed here with her  mother in 1833. Picturesque buildings on the Cobb include  ex headquarters of sailing and powerboat clubs while another houses a Marine Aquarium.
