The harbour for Lyme Regis is called the Cobb. No satisfactory explanation of the name exists but a man made construction has served as a refuge here since at least 1313. The earliest known drawing, made in 1539, shows a basic shape similar to the present construction, and this was built after the westerly gales breached the breakwater in 1824. There have been additions since that date but the major part of the Cobb dates from then. It was connected to the mainland in 1756 and the North Wall was built in 1823.
Meryl Streep managed to get to the end of the Cobb in the film The French Lieutenant’s Woman in bad weather so it can be done, although rumour has it that it was a stunt man dressed in her cloak.

As for the name, in Porthmadog there is an embankment across the Traeth Mawr, built in 1811, which is also called "Y Cob" ie "The Cob". I am not certain of the origin of the name either, but the old Gaelic word for embankment is "còb".
Best Wishes
