We are proud to work closely with the National Trust at Compton and Brook Bay! We currently provide the National Trust’s official fossil walks on this beautiful stretch of coastline, with our National Trust walks available during the school holidays and over select days throughout the year for both members and non-members!
Suitable for all ages our National Trust fossil walks are relaxed public group tours that take place at Compton Bay. You’ll explore the ancient story of this special coastline and search for Cretaceous fossils on the shore, including dinosaur bones, flint sea urchins, fossil wood, fossil oysters and so much more! Your destination will be the famous dinosaur footcasts at Hanover Point, bearing witness to these incredible tracks and learning about their formation, conservation and the dinosaur species that left them 130 million years ago!

Please note: All children under the age of 16 need to be accompanied by a responsible adult during the fossil walk. National Trust walks are open to both National Trust members and non-members.
