The Lynch is a channelled part of the River Lym (or Lim) west of Coombe Street. The Lyme Regis website states that the valley of the Lym is just over five kilometres long. It falls 200 metres from source to the sea in Lyme Bay. Heavy rain in the valley (Uplyme and Yawl) and Raymonds Hill where the source springs are located is enough to provide a torrent of water in the lower reaches past Jericho, Jordan, Mill Green and the Town Mill. The river has flooded on several occasions, the most dramatic being in the Spring of 1890 when residents of Coombe Street had to be rescued by boat.
