Spring Fossil Forage
Join our staff for a stroll on the beach in the spring sunshine looking for fossils and other treasures.

We will start in our exhibition upstairs at the Old Coastguard Station to hear about how fossils were formed, find out about the different folk names the fossils have and what exactly a Devil’s Toenail really is. Then head out for a short, guided stroll on the beach to find some for yourself.
