Inside you'll find geological galleries displaying local fossil finds, a Writers' Gallery covering literary connections from Jane Austen to John Fowles, and a Museum Trail for children included with admission. Guided fossil walks let you follow in Mary Anning's footsteps along the beach afterwards. It suits families, fossil enthusiasts and anyone curious about Lyme Regis's history.
