LOCATION

Take the B3233 to Fremington, from here look out for a signpost pointing to 'Fremington Quay', this is a narrow and long road which tends to be quite busy. There are few passing places. This road will take you right onto the Quay, you will pass a cafe and bike hire shop and then the road will end into a small car park. Park here and a footpath is possible down to the beach. You can just make out the small cliffs in the distance.

EQUIPMENT

Fossils are very hard and either containers or bags are suitable. You will need a heavy hammer and chisel to split some of the rocks and a good eye to look for any carboniferous limestone blocks.

SAFETY

Common sense when collecting at all locations should be taken and knowledge of tide times should always be noted. Fremington is Tidal and it can cut you off easily at high tide. Be careful of mud flaps beside the river, do not venture too far into these or you could get stuck.
