The village of Uplyme sits in East Devon, Devon, England, tucked into wooded valleys just inland from the coastal town of Lyme Regis and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast. The small River Lym winds through the parish and the village has a compact cluster of traditional cottages and a medieval parish church, reflecting a history that reaches back several centuries.
Today Uplyme is largely a residential community with a primary school, local shops and active community groups, and it benefits from visitors drawn to the coast while keeping an agricultural hinterland. Its position on the Dorset–Devon border makes it popular with walkers and commuters seeking quick access to seaside amenities alongside quieter countryside life.
