Do be charitable when camping in Charmouth. This should be easy enough for anyone when clapping eyes on the uplifting local sights of the Jurassic Coast and of Golden Cap, the highest cliff in the south of England, but we specifically mean at the spiffing Charmouth Heritage Centre. This craters to the need of every fossil fan who can – for free – find out all the info about the fossils to be found here, as well as bring in their own from the beach to be identified. Give them a donation or pay for a guided fossil walk, go on.
Conveniently, the Heritage Centre is set right on Charmouth’s beach to unearth such specimens; both the east and west beaches have fossily finds to bear proudly back to a Charmouth campsite. The west beach is about a mile from the equally fossily finds and annual fossil festival of Lyme Regis: stroll along the beach from here to there at low tide after a quick check at the Heritage Centre on favourable tides (careful now).
