PRIVATE TOURS
Skinningrove is an often overlooked location on the Yorkshire / Cleveland Coast, but is the most likely location for finding spectacular rarities such as Brittle Stars and rarer Pleinsbachian ammonite species. With consistent mollusc fossil finds, it is a very special location. The best way to understand the geoheritage of the site is with a specialist expert. Itineraries from Skinningrove include locations underneath some of the highest sea cliffs in England, where over 20 million years of geology washes onto the coastal platform. This less-visited outdoor classroom is great for understanding the very early and middle Jurassic period, as well as the more recent industrial stories of Iron, alum and jet mining.
Our fossil guides consider the unique safety factors required for safe and responsible collecting at this location.
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.
