Gilwern Quarry, Wales Fossil Hunt, 14th Jan 2024

On the edge of the Brecon Beacons, Upper Gilwern Hill is a site long known for its well-preserved and complete trilobites. The hill is made up of rocks from the Lower and Middle Ordovician, and the privately owned quarry is accessible to parties staying at the onsite Shepherd’s Hut self catering accommodation. The trilobite fossils here are plentiful and the chances of finding a good number is very high.Starts 11am. £15 to UKAFH members (payable on the day), higher for non members
