LOCATION
Croyde and Baggy Point can be reached by parking at the National Trust, Baggy Point car park along the coast of Croyde, it is easy to find and about half way up the large hill. From here, walk back down the road for a bit and you will see a cutting beside two houses were a short footpath will take you directly onto the Baggy Beds. |

EQUIPMENT
TOOLS: A large lump hammer here is required and chisel. googles and suitable footwear should be used. The rocks here are very hard indeed, it may be a good idea to sharpen hammers before any visit to Croyde, otherwise the slate is difficult to split.
CONTAINERS: Fossils are quite hard in the Slate, but once the Slate is split into sizeable pieces, it can become brittle and so fossils should be wrapped well. |

SAFETY & DANGERS
Common sense when collecting at all locations should be taken and knowledge of tide times should always be noted. The tide can easily cut you off at Baggy Point and the rocks are very slippery and dangerous, suitable hard-gripping footwear should be worn. The rocks are also very hard to split and jagged fragments from a hammer blow could easily pearce the skin, Goggles should be worn. |
