Part of the west Dorset coast was illuminated with colour when a new lighting feature was switched-on.

Lyme Regis has had new lights installed in its Langmoor and Lister Gardens, which were officially switch-on last Friday.

Councillors, council staff, residents and visitors gathered at the gardens to see mayor of Lyme Regis, Cllr Brian Larcombe MBE, turn on the lights.

More than 60 coloured lights illuminated the area around the woodland walk and the statue of Admiral Sir George Somers.

The scheme, led by Lyme Regis Town Council, has been designed by Lyme Light, the team behind the Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens illuminations.
