Awesome fossil digging experience. Came in Sunday afternoon and kids were all happy. They found many shark teeth fossils. It was easier than we could imagine to find the fossils and kids got like 30-40 shark teeth in 3 hours. Remember to bring seive to filter out the fossils from sand. There were also kids playground and Sunday market occasionally. Parking at nearby roads are easy & free. Official website has useful info. like map and parking suggestions. At first it is a bit difficult to locate the fossil pit, but it is actually not far from the pedestrian path at the uphill side.

Who would have thought that there is a place for people to take up foil legally in London? Walking past some beautiful wood and you will find this place not far from the road. This place is amazing with lots of educational information around. We were able to dig up fair amount of shark teeth and shells the first time we went there. We didn’t make any reservation twice we went there. However, the place could get busy. We were just using some children’s shuffle to dig out stuff.

Beautiful park with wonderful views of the City. Brilliant for fossil hunting in the ‘fossil pit’! Lots of shark teeth to be found. A relatively small area, but don’t be put off as it was perfect. Be sure to take a metal garden sieve & a spade for digging! Our son found lots much to his delight. A very peaceful place, would highly recommend ☺️
