 Autumnal Equinox:   The Autumn Equinox is the first day of the autumn season and occurs when the sun passes the equator moving from the northern to the southern hemisphere. The sun is directly overhead at the equator and day and night are of approximately equal lengths. At equinox, the Sun rises everywhere on Earth (except the Poles) at about 6am in the morning and sets at about 6pm in the evening (though this can vary a little when time zones and daylight saving etc are taken into account).

Mapping the Undercliffs Nature Reserve 

23 July - 13 September 2024
 

A refreshing new way for us to look at the Dorset and Devon coastal paths is offered in this fascinating collection of images and strip maps hand-drawn by nature journaling artist Alex Boon, who spent a year documenting the pathways, wildlife and landmarks of the Undercliffs Nature Reserve.  
Be inspired to replicate Alex’s journeys with your own coastal adventure.

WALKS and Tours

Do take advice about safe tide times before setting off for more than fifteen minutes hike, without a guide, along our beautiful beaches: - what appears to be an easy bit of ground to scramble over is more likely to be a treacherous mud slide - don't take a chance!

FOSSIL WALKS

Get Fossiling on the Jurassic Coast! Join one of Lyme Regis Museum’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. 

Each walk is limited to 15 people per guide. Start times for walks vary according to the tides and take about three hours.
