If you are getting though Birmingham by 7am you should be in Lyme by mid morning easily. There are loads of services and any one will do for a comfort stop. Stop at the next one when you feel the need.

Speaking as a local you need to come off the m5 at Taunton turning left onto the a358 Ilminster taunton Axminster left on a35 in the Dorchester direction but come off right when you see the signs for Lyme Regis. B3165 it will be.

If you are staying eastern side of Lyme you will better follow the a35 just a little further and come off into lyme on the A3052.

Just to confuse you a bit more, if you are staying at the CC&C site you don't want to go into lyme but turn left at Raymonds hill on B3065 & then second? right. Its signposted

getting past Birmingham at 7am, means you will hit Bristol at peak rush hour, that could slow you down a fair bit. And as the kids are still off in the south, the traffic could well be sticky all the way from Bristol down.

When we go further down south we tend to leave before 7am to avoid any snarle ups.

You maybe lucky as it will be a tuesday, good luck the motorway system from Bristol to the South West is always a lottery.
