 Get Fossiling on the Jurassic Coast! Join one of Lyme Regis's famous fossil walks along this historic stretch
of Dorset coast with Geologist Paddy Howe and Marine Biologist Chris Andrew. Some families return time and again to search with Paddy and Chris among the sand and rocks for fossils that have been washed down onto the beach after 190 million years. For adults and children alike, it’s an unforgettable experience.
Learn all about Mary Anning, the famous early paleontologist who once lived on the site of the museum and much more
Each walk is limited to 15 people per guide. Start times for walks vary according to the tides and take about three hours. |
