Burniston Rocks - Out & About
Since the days of William Smith, ‘The Father of English
Geology’, geologists have taken part in organised fossil hunts all
along this coast, recognised as one of the best geology sites in
the world. 180 million years of Earth History are laid out in the
rocks along the Yorkshire Coast.
Jurassic rocks bear evidence of a time when dinosaurs roamed the
area and footprints are clearly visible along the shore at
Burniston.
Why not spend some time searching for dinosaurs along this
coastline? Visit the dinosaur coast web site for a list of exciting
events throughout the summer season.
There is a regular bus service through this village, bus number
115.
