 Get Fossilling at Lyme Regis! Come and join in with one of our famous Fossil Walks with Museum Geologist Paddy Howe and his expert colleague Chris Andrew.
Prices and Booking
Your fossil walk ticket gives you FREE access to the museum where you will be able to see displays of rare fossils, learn all about Mary Anning, the famous early palaeontologist who once lived on the site of the museum and much, much more.
Cost: £9 adults, children and students £5.
Times for the walks vary according to the tides.
Please contact us 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). Card payments will only be processed 48 hours before the date of the walk, after that there will be no refund possible. 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 time of the walk. Again, cancellations may be made up to 48 hours before the walk. It is, of course, possible to make bookings in person at the Museum. 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. 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. Current Fossil Walks Timetable

- 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.
