Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre Activities
The Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre is situated on the Jurassic Coast, England’s first Natural World Heritage Site. Entry to the centre is free of charge and provides information on fossils the local coastal and marine wildlife. We are an educational facility, promoting safe and sustainable collecting of local fossils. We also offer a wide range of public events throughout the year and an extensive schools programme that brings learning to life in the great outdoors. Join us for a guided fossil walk and take home your own fossil from the Jurassic Coast. These trips are a great introduction to fossils and our Wardens are on hand to help you find and identify your fossils. Come along to one of our Rockpool Rambles and discover the underwater world of Lyme Bay. We also have marine tanks in the Centre where you can learn about how these amazing creatures survive in rockpools.
