Park in the free car park in the centre of the village.

From the car park, head towards the harbour. You will see massive brick-built hoppers on the harbour-side which were used during the 19th and early 20th centuries for a variety of rock based industrial applications. There is an information board at the base of the hoppers which provides a fascinating insight into their history and the village’s industrial past.

Walk below the hoppers and at the end of their walls you will come to a small house with steps leading upwards next to it. Climb these steps to the top. There are excellent views of the industrial ruin as you ascend.

At the top, go through the stile and follow the path for about 50 meters. You will come to a large area covered in broken masses of shale. This is the main fossil hunting area.

The area of shale stretches right to the cliff edge, so take care!
