Fossil Hunting at Saltwick Bay, Yorkshire | UK Fossils Road Tour

Описание: Join the UK Fossils Road Tour as we explore Saltwick Bay, Yorkshire, one of the most productive fossil hunting locations on the North Yorkshire Coast, just south of Whitby. Saltwick Bay yields many ammonites, reptiles and shells, and is also famous for jet, which is a type of lignite and considered to be a minor gemstone and popular for jewellery. Ammonites are often found in nodules, which are easy to split and found along the foreshore.

Saltwick Bay is especially well known for:
• Lower Jurassic ammonites
• Ammonites and marine fossils
• Prepping Yorkshire ammonites
• Extensive rock platforms exposed at low tide

In this guide, we cover:
• Where to fossil hunt around Saltwick Bay
• The best areas to search after storms and rockfalls
• How Saltwick fits into the wider Cleveland Basin geology
• The best tide conditions for safe fossil hunting
• Safety advice for slippery platforms, cliff falls, and rising North Sea tides

Saltwick Bay can be extremely rewarding, particularly after recent erosion events, but careful tide planning is essential.

⚠️ Always check tide times carefully, leave plenty of time to exit the bay, and stay clear of unstable cliff sections.
