Clues in the Clay

An adults-only, three-hour guided fossil hunting walk along the eroding coastline at Spurn with an experienced local fossil hunter.

Join a local fossil hunter with over 20 years of experience on the Yorkshire coast for a hands-on, adult-focused tour of Spurn's shoreline. The fast-eroding North Sea coastline yields fossils from 300-million-year-old coral specimens to ice age remains only a few thousand years old. Over the three-hour walk, staff will help identify finds, offer preparation advice and share tips for future discoveries. The route covers uneven terrain, and warm layers, sturdy footwear and binoculars are recommended.
