Discover the geology and fossils of the Jurassic Coast.

Due to Covid-19, we will sadly not be opening our doors to school groups in the 2020 Autumn Term. Drop us an email to be alerted when we are able to take bookings for Spring and Summer Terms 2021!

The tour starts in the Centre with a short film and Warden talk on the fossils of Charmouth and the Jurassic environment in which they were formed. 

The Warden will then lead the group out onto Charmouth beach to search for fossils. At the end of the session the tour covers the Fossil Collecting Code and aspects of conservation associated with the site. All finds may be taken back to school/college and we can adapt the content of this session to suit your groups needs.
