The Undercliff national nature reserve is a seven-mile stretch of fairly unescapable woodland between Lyme Regis and Axmouth. It's formed in an area of landslip between the solid cliff tops at the edges of fields and the beach below. As such the path that runs through it is changeable as the earth moves. It's a wonderful but committing walk.
