Read again: "There was too much wind to make the high part of the new Cobb pleasant for the ladies". <br /><br />The 'Witches Teeth' staircase which you indicate as being the ones are in the old Cobb section. The third set of stair are situated right after you leave the old Cobb and start on the new part.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33189102.post-91629803583338504372010-05-21T09:25:39.586-04:002010-05-21T09:25:39.586-04:00Hi, I run Jane Austen Tours in Lyme Regis.

I have quite a few photographs of myself and friends on the Cobb in rather stormy weather.A little like the scene in The French Lieutenants Woman, except there were five of us nearly blown into The Channel. They show two sets of the stairs. <br />If you would like, them I'll post them on my BLOG. <br />All the best,<br /> TonyTONYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07767998391294014275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33189102.post-54877302087275044752010-05-12T13:56:17.028-04:002010-05-12T13:56:17.028-04:00Raquel, of course you can.

I've be...Raquel, of course you can. No problem.<br />I've been to Lyme a few times.Not only is it famous for Jane Austen and John Fowles it is also a fossil hunters paradise. Lyme is the place where Mary Anning lived.She found the remains of the first ichthyosaur. Some of her finds are in The Natural History Museum in Kensington.<br /><br />People go on fossil hunting day trips in Lyme.<br /><br />TheTONYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07767998391294014275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33189102.post-86228159666784825572010-05-12T13:31:05.474-04:002010-05-12T13:31:05.474-04:00Meredith,
