Dorset 2017 Eloise in the fossil forest

After a 2-year break from field trips, we are thrilled to announce that our residential field trip is back for 2022!

One of the traditional annual highlights in the Rockwatch Event Calendar is its 4-night residential trip to Dorset and East Devon’s Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.

The annual residential trip is often a regular booking for many of our Rockwatch families. It’s a great opportunity to spend time with fellow enthusiasts of all ages.

Every year families join the Rockwatch Team and other local experts to explore different geological sites and nurture their passion and understanding of key geological themes. Previous trips have taken Rockwatchers to Branscombe, Purbeck and Swanage beaches to study coastal Erosion, or to Worbarrow Bay, Osmington and Lulworth Cove to study Fossils in the Service of Science.

The Cost of the Trip

Adult £340.00 (Please note: only ONE adult may accompany their child/ren on this trip)

First Child £240.00

Subsequent Children £152.00 (Children are aged up to 18)

Young Adult (18 years and over and in full-time education): £240.00

This Price includes full-board and all transport during the event. Please bring your own towels.

It is really great fun and I love collecting fossils and learning about dinosaurs.

I love fossil hunting and the events give you access to places normally closed for the public.

We love Rockwatch ... All their events and field trips, especially the Swanage residential, are fantastic fun, enjoyable and educational. My favourites have been- going behind the scenes at the Natural History Museum and the British Geological Survey.
