Please note that all events are subject to change. Please contact the Visitors Centre beforehand to ensure the event is still as planned. On the day, the event may be cancelled due to inclement weather or insufficient att endance.

Please note the following before participating in our events:

Children under 15 MUST be accompanied by an adult. Dogs are welcome at the guides discretion, but must be kept under control and on a leash.

Wear appropriate clothing. All our events are on the coast so cool sea winds can make even warm days seem cold. Wear suitable footwear for walking on rough terrain. Wellies are strongly advised for the fossil walks. On low tide walks you will get your feet wet, so again wear suitable footwear.

Most walks last 1.5 to 2 hours and are 1-3 miles in distance.
