December 13th - Jurassic Coast

Tuesday December 13 is the tenth anniversary of the Jurassic Coast being designated a World Heritage Site. Lyme Regis Museum marks the day, not only by opening free of charge but offering a free guided fossil walk to the first 30 who make a booking for that date. Museum director Mary Godwin said, ‘Lyme Regis Museum is at the heart of the Jurassic Coast and we feel a special affinity with it and the early scientists who hunted fossils here. Our museum building itself is on the site of Mary Anning’s birthplace. We hope everyone will come and see the magnificent Jurassic Coast fossils on display, and share some birthday cake!’
