Fossil Walks

We run fossil walks in towns and cities all around the country. During these walks, we visit some of the best and most spectacular fossils visible in the building stones of the locations walls and footpaths. Highlighting the fossil wonders in places that we walk by every day, we share the secrets of the fossils, explaining how they formed, where they lived, and even how they died.
