Dorset Lyme Regis Riverbed Stream
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1926, showcases the enchanting scene of The Buddle in Lyme Regis, Dorset. Nestled along the picturesque Jurassic Coast, this quaint dry streambed is a testament to the rich history and natural beauty of the area. The Buddle, also known as the "River of Death," is a seasonal stream that flows into Lyme Bay. During dry weather, the streambed appears as a tranquil and intriguing expanse of exposed rocks and pebbles, inviting exploration and wonder. However, when the rains come, the stream comes alive, transforming into a powerful and roaring force that carries the runoff from the surrounding hills into the sea. The area around The Buddle has been inhabited since prehistoric times, with evidence of human activity dating back to the Iron Age. The Roman historian, Pliny the Elder, even mentioned Lyme Regis in his writings, describing it as a prosperous town with a harbor and a temple dedicated to Mercury. Over the centuries, Lyme Regis has been a popular destination for visitors, who have been drawn to its stunning coastline, fossil-rich beaches, and the unique charm of The Buddle. This photograph captures a moment in time, preserving the beauty and history of The Buddle for future generations to appreciate. The intricate patterns of the exposed rocks, the textures of the pebbles, and the sense of tranquility that pervades the scene are all elements that make this photograph a true treasure. Whether you are a local or a visitor, taking a moment to explore The Buddle and its surrounding area is an experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
