Cobb防波堤 萊姆里杰斯的Cobb防波堤 在英格蘭西南海岸，歷史悠久的海港和防波堤被稱為Cobb防波堤，與波濤洶涌的海水相望。自中世紀(jì)以來，萊姆里吉斯(Lyme Regis)附近水域就一直有這樣或那樣的人造建筑，如果沒有它們，這個多塞特鎮(zhèn)的大部分地區(qū)可能就會被沖走。雖然萊姆里吉斯的港口在現(xiàn)代人看來似乎很小，但從13世紀(jì)開始，由于科布河和它提供的保護(hù)，萊姆里吉斯成為了一個主要港口和造船中心。

我們主頁上的長而彎曲的高墻提供了一個絕佳的觀景臺，從這里可以欣賞到侏羅紀(jì)海岸的全景，這是一個以化石而聞名的世界遺產(chǎn)。這部分建筑建于波特蘭石，可以追溯到19世紀(jì)20年代，梅麗爾·斯特里普在《法國中尉的女人》中扮演的角色曾在這一場景中出現(xiàn)過。如果你選擇追隨她的腳步，請注意:科布河可能是危險的，也可能是驚人的，即使是在海浪沒有沖擊它的時候。海藻會使它的表面很滑，如果你失足，沒有扶手可以抓住，所以選擇一個平靜的日子，享受沿著頂部漫步，即使在這個時候，也要小心行走。

Shrugging off choppy waters on England’s south-west coast is the historic harbour and breakwater known as the Cobb. There has been one man-made structure or another in the waters off Lyme Regis since medieval times, without which much of this Dorset town may have been washed away. While its harbour seems small to modern eyes, Lyme Regis grew as a major port and shipbuilding centre from the 13th century onwards, thanks to the Cobb and the protection it offered from fierce south-westerly gales.

The long, curving High Wall featured in our homepage image offers a great lookout spot from which to enjoy panoramic views of this stretch of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site famous for its fossils. This section, built in Portland Stone, dates back to the 1820s and famously features in a scene with Meryl Streep’s character in The French Lieutenant’s Woman. If you choose to follow in her footsteps, be warned: The Cobb can be as treacherous as it is breathtaking, even when waves are not crashing against it. Algae can make its surface slippery and there is no handrail to grab if you lose your footing, so choose a calm day to enjoy a stroll along the top and even then, tread carefully.
