Lyme Lunge
The annual New Year’s Day swim from the beach at Lyme Regis is a fun event to take part in, or watch if you aren’t up to braving the cold. Swimmers dress up in silly fancy dress and face the cold waters, aiming to raise money for charity and provide a bit of entertainment in the process.
