Hunt for Shark Teeth on the Essex Coast!

Walton on the Naze field trip with Rockwatch, August 2026Have you ever held a real fossil in your hand… one that’s millions of years old?

This summer, Rockwatchers are heading back to Walton-on-the-Naze and we’d love you to come too!

It’s a chance to become a real-life fossil hunter.

A beach full of secrets…

The cliffs at Walton-on-the-Naze are constantly changing. Bit by bit, they crumble and reveal fossils hidden inside for millions of years.

That means every Rockwatch visit is different and every Rockwatcher has the chance to discover something amazing.

What makes this trip special?

  • Expert guidance from Ian and Roz Mercer who know all about the geology of the area
  • Fossils from multiple time periods in one place
  • Real hands-on collecting (yes—you can take finds home!)
  • A brilliant day out with other Rockwatch families

Imagine finding…

🦈 A shark tooth from an ancient ocean
🐚 A delicate shell from a long-lost seabed
🌿 A fossilised twig from a prehistoric forest
