CHARMOUTH FOSSILS🦕

⭐️ Meet in first car park on left just BEFORE the Heritage centre. I will be as near to the payment facility as possible at the top of of the Car park in red Caddy. Its 180 mile trip for me £2 fee towards fuel / parking costs.

⭐️ Assessing if there is any interest for this type of event - I am a geologist who has been visiting these unstable cliffs for over 30 years from Tavistock

⭐️ Can ID finds for you but its also a great setting for an afternoon out

Stroll along the beach on a lowering tide looking out for fossils - there have been some rare finds earlier this year - reptile bones etc.
⭐️ If you have not been its very different place ! At your own risk ! - there are falling cliffs, copious mud and some uneven ground...but with guidance and care the dangers are reduced....awareness counts massively...

We walk towards Seatown along the tideline - many metallic yellow pyritic ammonites ( Jurassic squids ) are found - loads in fact recently.

Couple of hours along the tideline should take us 2 miles - the cliffs here you will have seen on the news last Winter- Stonebarrow - we dont venture on the mud & avoid particularly unstable looking areas....

Hiking boots / super wellies best - rock, shingle variable - we dont go up on mud its dangerous.....
Bring food / drink for break @ the waters edge - not beneath any cliffs...
Car park is £6, possible to park in village free and walk 20 min down to sea front..
