if you are planning a trip to Lyme and would like to know about availability on our walks. Full payment is needed at time of booking so please have your card details ready when you phone 01297 443370 Alternatively, UK residents may send a cheque for the full amount made payable to 'Lyme Regis Museum' to arrive at least 48 hours before the day of the walk. It is, of course, possible to make bookings in person at the Museum. No refunds will be possible for bookings cancelled less than 48 hours before the day of the walk. If, for any reason, the walk has to be cancelled by us then full refunds will be given. Some families return time and again to search with Paddy and Chris among the sand and rocks for fossils that have been washed-down onto the beach after 150 million years. For adults and children alike, it’s an unforgettable experience. Click on Fossil Finds to see some of the fossils found on previous walks. Each walk is limited to 15 people per guide and you need to allow a minimum of two hours. Walks can fill up quickly on the day so please call us and book a place before travelling any great distance.

School and Student Groups
We now offer fossil walks for school and student groups. Please contact us for more details by emailing us at:

or by ringing us on: 01297 443370. Alternatively our full contact details are available on our contact page. Download the Fossil Walk Risk Assessment (PDF, 87KB) We have two experienced walk leaders (Paddy and Chris) and will take up to 30 fossil hunters on a walk provided both are available. We always try to keep our visito/guide ratio below 15:1 so everyone on the walks will get a high level of input on what to look for and what they have found. Fossil Walk Tips
- Walks leave promptly from outside the museum. Please arrive 10 minutes before departure time.
- The walk is over uneven ground on the beach to the East of Lyme.
- You’ll need to be reasonably agile and steady on your feet and should wear walking books or wellies and suitable clothing and headgear for the weather. We advise bringing a rucksack so you can collect fossil and remain hands-free. Bring a drink and snack. If you are bringing children under 8, we advise that they should have a particular interest in fossils and a good attention span!
Please note that walks always go ahead, whatever the weather, unless it is unsafe to do so. Further information on walks, talks and exhibitions at Lyme Regis Museum:
