We are happy to adapt each session to the topics and themes of your groups study. Please contact us to discuss how we can best do this.
Geology and Geomorphology Tour
Duration 2 hours
After a short introduction and film show, the Warden will lead the group out onto the beach and along the coast stopping at certain points to discuss how the local cliffs and coastline have formed. The walk will cover the local geology, the landslide systems of West Dorset, an analysis of the composition of the beach and local conservation policy.
Fossil and Palaeontology Tour
Duration 2 hours
The tour starts in the Centre with a short film and warden talk on the fossils of Charmouth and the Jurassic environment in which they were formed. The warden will then lead the group out onto Charmouth beach to search for fossils. At the end of the session the tour covers the Fossil Collecting Code and aspects of conservation associated with the site. All finds may be taken back to school / college.
