Explore the shoreline on one of our popular Rock Pooling Walks! Lyme Regis has one of the most diverse reefs in the UK… join the West Dorset Forager on a shoreline safari experience to discover this incredible tidal zone and the wonderful creatures lurking in the pools and crevices of Monmouth Beach, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. During the session our Guide will show you how to safely hold various specimens – you will even have the opportunity to take a ‘selfie with a sea creature’!

The session is suitable for ages 6+ and entry to the Museum is included in the ticket price – a great value family day out!

Sessions last 2-3hrs. Please dress in suitable clothing for mud and water and be prepared to negotiate rocks on foot! Baby carriers are not permitted due to the nature of the terrain. Please meet promptly outside the Museum 15 minutes before the Walk.

Important Information – Rock Pooling Walks

Please be aware that our fossil walks take place on a natural beach environment. The terrain can be uneven, slippery, wet or muddy, and may be covered with seaweed in places.

Due to these conditions, the walks are not suitable for buggies, baby carriers, wheelchairs or walking aids. The distance covered and nature of the ground can make this a physically demanding activity.

For safety and comfort, the walks are unsuitable for young children under 6, those with limited mobility, or individuals with certain health conditions.

If you have any concerns about your health or fitness, we strongly advise consulting your GP before booking.
