Lyme Regis, First Impressions

Back in September of 2019 I'm looking at town names on Google Maps when I notice how close I am to Lyme Regis. I’m traveling with my family to the coast of Devon, and we decide to make an unplanned stop. Jane Austen wrote about this seaside town in Persuasion, and I find her descriptions online and read them aloud as we near the roundabout for our detour.
