Fossil Hunting Walks

If you enjoyed the BBC documentary David Attenborough and the Sea Dragon why not come and hunt for your own fossils, you never know what you might find. A number of local organisations offer guided fossil hunting on the beaches around Charmouth and Lyme Regis. There are 'public walks' which are lower cost, but where you could be in a large group of people, and 'private walks' where you hire a guide exclusively for yourself and your family. Walks and tours can be tailored to suit all ages and abilities. They are led by a qualified, insured & experienced Coastal Leader.
