You'll find a striking fossil collection ranging from tiny microfossils to a large Ichthyosaur, a Time Gallery explaining geological time with a timeline running up the stairs, a Natural History Room of shells, skeletons and taxidermy, and smaller specialist displays including minerals and Devon fossils. The building also has links to pioneering fossil hunter Mary Anning. It suits anyone curious about fossils, dinosaurs or local geology. Located in Lyme Regis just 0.2 miles from Church Cliff Beach, with Axminster station 4.8 miles away and 54 places to stay within 5 miles, it makes an easy stop on a Dorset coast visit.
