Categories
Kettleness is on of the Yorkshire Coast’s classic sites and was the source location for the largest and most complete ‘Rhomaleosaurus’ Pliosaur skeleton ever found – now the centrepiece of the Natural History Museums’ marine reptile gallery. The location reveals a full array of strata from different geological units spanning the late Pleinsbachian and Toarcian, and Middle Jurassic, meaning that a unique range of fauna can be found here. Several LONG itineraries are available, including walk-in trips plus round trips to/from Sandsend or Runswick Bay. It is not a beginners location and requires a specialist guide to safely reveal some of the location’s best spots. Access was limited with slope collapse in early 2024, making the Runswick to Kettleness loop the most viable itinerary.
Summer, school break and weekend availability is extremely limited. Please book early for 2026 dates. Due to monthly tidal variations, it is not always possible to embark on fossil hunts in all locations.
