Totland Bay

Totland Bay, on the western coast of the Isle of Wight, is a lesser-known but highly rewarding fossil collecting location. Covering the stretch from the south side of the bay to just before Hatherwood Point, this area exposes part of the Headon Hill Formation, with slipped blocks scattered across the foreshore. Although access can be challenging due to landslips and debris, the bay can yield a wide variety of fossils, particularly gastropods and vertebrate remains.Eocene, Foreshore, Rating: ♦♦♦

Milford on Sea

Milford on Sea provides an excellent opportunity to collect a wide range of fossil seeds from the Headon Hill Formation.
