Fossil Collecting
One of my staff recently went to Whitby for the day and visited Staithes and went fossil collecting. This is a great way to spend some time in the fresh air blowing away the cobwebs, so why not pick up your bucket, spade and fossil hammer in your hunt for ammonites, jet and shells, along the North East coast. Any of the beaches of Whitby, Staithes, Saltwick Bay, Runswick Bay or Robin Hoods Bay to name a few are great places to fossil hunt.
Why not make Valley View Farm your base and visit the North East coast and go fossil hunting.
We are dog friendly holiday cottages so bring your dog, who will sure to love a walk along one of the superb coastal regions or North Yorkshire.
