Official profile first, then live environmental context
Freshness gate: modelled weather older than 3 hours and gauge readings older than 6 hours are treated as unavailable. Timestamps that cannot be parsed or sit more than 15 minutes in the future are rejected, not labelled live.
Inspect source and failure boundaries
Water-quality classifications, sample history and pollution-risk warnings are deliberately not copied from an unverified nearest-point feed. Use the exact Environment Agency profile above.
Do not combine these into a safety score. The official profile, modelled air weather, any nearby gauge and on-site observations answer different questions. A complete response means only that the requested remote sources returned—not that conditions are safe.
Locate the designated monitoring point
The marker is the Environment Agency record coordinate used by this page. It is not an entry point, access instruction or route. Check land-manager information and what is physically present before approaching the water.
For Lyme Regis Church Cliff Beach, the marker identifies Lyme Regis Church Cliff Beach (ukk2205-21400) at 50.7250, -2.9303. The register names Dorset Council for this coast record in Lyme Regis. The additional local source reviewed for this page is Dorset Council bathing-water register; open it below before turning the record point into a travel plan.

This place check is tied to Lyme Regis Church Cliff Beach, identifier ukk2205-21400. The Environment Agency profile is the verification route for the annual classification, sample history and any available pollution-risk warning. Those values are not copied from a nearby-point feed.

What a second, place-specific source changes
Dorset Council bathing-water register
- What the source establishes
- Dorset Council lists Church Cliff and Lyme Regis Front as separate designated bathing waters, so a nearby Lyme result cannot be substituted for this record.
- How it changes this check
- Match the EUBWID to Church Cliff first, then check tide, shore access and any harbour notice separately before choosing an exit east of the harbour.
- What remains unresolved
- The register does not resolve current boat movements or whether the adjacent route remains usable through the planned tide. Those require current harbour and on-site evidence.
Place-specific verification sequence
- 01Match Church Cliff’s name and EUBWID before reading samples; Lyme Regis Front is a different record. Save the exact source link in the field note.
- 02Check the tide against the eastern shore route and read any current harbour notice for vessel movement. Treat harbour information as adjacent operational evidence, not as a bathing-water result.
- 03On arrival, identify a return route that does not rely on crossing a narrowing section of shore. If the route changes with tide or harbour activity, set an earlier exit trigger or leave the plan open.
- 04Church Cliff’s note should include a photograph or transcription of the beach-name sign and any harbour-side warning facing the approach. Record whether the Cobb, harbour wall or Church Cliff steps form the intended landmark; these are different navigation cues, and a direction copied from Front Beach can lead the group toward the wrong water and exit.
Place-specific evidence questions
This file keeps the exact Lyme Regis Church Cliff Beach record (ukk2205-21400) separate from same-day observations. Its annual designation evidence is not a current access statement or a safety decision.
- 01Does the source link resolve to Church Cliff Beach rather than Lyme Regis Front Beach?
- 02Are harbour movement, tide and adjacent-shore access compatible with the planned exit?
Questions to verify—not confirmed local facts
