 From Yarmouth, follow the A3054 out of the town. The turning is easy to miss, but its pasts Bouldnor Cliff. The small track road is called 'Cranmore Avenue' and leads to the village of Cranmore. Follow this road down.

 It will lead to a junction with a grass area and a private road round the corner. There is space for two cars just before the private road. Walk down the private road following the footpath.

LOCATION ONE - BOULDNOR CLIFF

 The footpath will veer right, DO NOT VEER RIGHT. Instead, follow the track road all the way down. It will lead downhill and just before the large gates to the private house, is a footpath to the left. This can be easy to miss, but it is beside the gate.

 Follow the track through the landslip, the footpath will eventually lead to the shore. As soon as you enter the beach, you can start collecting. Fossils can be found both East and West. West is better.

LOCATION TWO - HAMSTEAD CLIFF

 Follow the footpath that veers right, you will reach a footpath 'junction', turn left and left again at the next junction. This will lead down to Hamstead Cliff.
