Kimmeridge fossil hunt
(route)
This is a very short stroll around Kimmeridge Bay in Dorset, part of the Jurassic Coast, one of the most spectacular World Heritage Sites.
Kimmeridge is a really interesting place to spend an hour or so as the ground is littered with fossils (which by the way you are allowed to collect if loose but you can't go down with a hammer and start hacking away at the rock - it's a protected site don't you know).
Kimmeridge has a natural stone ledge which extends into the bay making the landscape rather lunar! There are plenty of rock pools at low tide which is great for kids and for surfers there are a couple of reefs.
When I was there yesterday there were lots of kayakers, which I reckon would be a great way to see this amazing coastline which runs from Exmouth on the East Devon coast, to just north of Swanage on the Purbeck Coast.
Check out the Jurassic coast website.
P.S. This area is a military training zone so you may be restricted on where you walk.
