Family Fossils Hunstanton

Hunstanton has a 20 million year slice of Cretaceous rocks exposed in its multi-coloured cliffs but it is a little known fact that the best fossils can be found along the public beach (in front of the promenade) as far south as Heacham. In addition to these local fossils, later Ice Age glaciers brought down many rocks and fossils from Scotland, Northumberland and Yorkshire which sometimes turn up as far south as Snettisham. These rocks are known as glacial 'erratics'
Family Fossils is an educational project based at Hunstanton's Heritage Centre in the former NatWest Bank. The Heritage Centre offers a comprehensive view of the history of the town from its earliest days to today. There are special exhibits on the role of the railway in developing the town in the mid 19th century and the disastrous 1953 flood which claimed so many lives.
Family Fossils can be found at the Heritage Centre on Saturdays (2pm to 4pm)  plus some other days during school holidays. Check local Facebook groups.
