Arthur Fordham & Co

Arthur Fordham & Co is a traditional hardware and homeware shop on Broad Street in central Lyme Regis and dogs are welcome inside on leads. It's the kind of place you can browse twine, doorstops, buckets and batteries while your dog sniffs the floor and politely ignores the varnish display.

The shop sits at the bottom of Broad Street, close to Cobb Gate car park and the public toilets, making it a handy stop during a wander around Lyme Regis. Whether you're replacing a lost carabiner or picking up picnic supplies, staff are used to furry customers joining the errands.

Broad Street is the heart of Lyme Regis's visitor shopping quarter and a short walk from the seafront, so it's easy to fold this into a dog-friendly day exploring the town. No fuss, no frills, just proper ironmongery with a welcome for well-behaved dogs.
