Spectacular views over the Cobb.

These Gardens face the sea, harbour and Cobb from behind the major stabilisation works completed in 2007. The Gardens offer splendid views to sea and east to the spectacular Jurrassic Coast reaching to Portland on a clear day and encompassing Golden Cap, the highest point on the South Coast of England.
The Gardens had to be completely restored as the stabilisation works were of such a scale that the previous gardens were totally destroyed. This is because the underlying geology of Lyme Regis is rather unstable with blocks of land sliding about as seen between Lyme and Charmouth. This instability exists in the town itself and means that a constant watch must be kept for movement, but the Langmoor and Lister Gardens are stable for now thanks to the massive scale of the work undertaken.
The Langmoor and Lister Gardens in the heart of Lyme Regis have been home to the Sculpture Trail since 2015. Perched above the beach, with far-reaching views to the Cobb and coastline beyond, the gardens provide a perfect outdoor gallery for a range of contemporary sculptures by local artists.

Selected each year from established and upcoming artists, the artworks are chosen to represent a cross-section of the visual arts encompassing different materials and styles. The Town Council aims to enhance the natural beauty of the gardens and wider landscape through providing a creative experience for visitors.
