A clear recommendation to read if you’re into Crime Novels - the stories about Detective Caine, aka the mindful detective. Written by Laurence Anholt, by the way (no, it’s not me). Caine is described to live in a remote hut at the Undercliff close to Lyme Regis.

Little bit of useless trivia for you. on the section outlayed on my page, this is the only gate you'll need to go through. That is something that doesn't happen often.
The area is predominately open meadow land and woodland preserved by the National Trust. The area was an important Armada look-out point and later when a French invasion was feared, the warning beacon sited here, when lit, would have started a chain from the coast north to Trinity Hill near Axminster and west to Rousdon in the direction of Seaton. With vigilance, the entire country to the north coast could be alerted within half an hour thanks to the well worked out network of sightlines joining hilltop to hilltop.
