Great experience about fossil haunting, excellent day out for the kids, you can lose easily 3-4 hours on the ammonite beach with the big rocks searching for fossil and you won't realize how the time is going so fast..parking is always busy most of the days so if you thinking about visit the site make sure you go early in the morning, in the afternoon is almost a 1 in 1 out rule so bene prepare to wait to park after lunch, also a bit pricey at £1.40 p/h flat rate... Overall a nice day out in a nice coastal town…

As we walked along we were allowed to try and find fossils given advice on what to look for.

We just had a 4 hour fossil hunt with Brandon in Lyme Regis, it was a great way to spend the day. He’s a very knowledgeable guide and knows all of the places to go to find fossils.

We hired Nigel Clarke who was recommended on Tripadvisor and he totally lived up to his revue. Full of information, great with the 4 children, an introduction to fossil hunting along with pictures and fossils before we started was great fun and we all learnt a great deal. He was very engaging with the children and their numerous questions and sqeales of delight when they found bits and needed his help 2 hours well spent!!…
