I can not explain how much inspiration your videos give me. I only live a 30 minute drive from Charmouth and down that way. I am also realising how awesome the Jurassic coast is a bit further north too
You are lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world. Me and my family would go there many, many years in a row on vacation. Seeing this video I still recognize everything from this particular beach, even though I haven't been there in ages now.
Any day combing the shore for treasure is a completely successful day.
A great day out Abbie, you were blessed with the sunshine.
Thanks for sharing with us. And it’s true, success is relative, the important thing is enjoyment 😀 have a good day. Elena
How exciting! I agree wholeheartedly about the mindlefulness aspect of treasure hunting on the beach. I'm not lucky to have a treasure trove of fossils near by but I live across from a beach a find sea glass. When I go, I come back so refreshed and calm from all that blue space from the water and focus on searching for sea glass and not my problems. Thanks for sharing
Awesome finds well done enjoyed the video subscribed great knowledge
Lucky to be near such a beach!
Hello my friend we hope all is well thank you for sharing your Fossil Hunting Adventures with us. so many great finds we sure must get back out there. Stay safe and we want to say welcome to our youtube Family. Love and Light Sarah and Glenn
So lovely to head out on a fossil adventure with you. Thank you for sharing the video, Abbie.
Just found your channel!! So informative thank you. I am stunned that you are allowed to rock/fossil hunt there. Here in America you can hardly touch a plant in the National and State parks, let alone take anything home. Super lucky. Some of my best childhood memories was rock hunting as a child with my parents, when we could still do that type of stuff. Every time I see a pile of river rock, I want to go look for agates. Greetings from Minnesota, USA
Lovely video Abbie, looks so relaxing to be doing that, especially in the glorious sunshine ☀️
Only found your channel recently, the West Highland Way walk. Have walked it 3 times so was interested in your take on it , have to say I thought you came across very well and produced a very interesting video . Have since subscribed and found so many more amazing videos which you've created, keep up the good work and look forward to trawling through your amazing collection . Thanks for sharing your experiences with everyone .
Fab inspiring video thank you!!!
You Always inspire me to get outside and more importantly be my true self I loved the Stone Age and I stopped as absolutely know one I knew was interested it’s good to no there’s people more passionate like you about nature and past life keeping the legacy alive
Really enjoyed this! Makes me a little homesick for the south coast
My best friend, that's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
This was fascinating! Looks like so much fun. And yes, definitely a meditative experience. Thank you so much for taking us along to an area we may not get to experience in person. Beautiful day, too! 👍
thanks Abby for brightening my day with your wonderfull videos :) so much respect and admiration for you
Was great to see you down at Charmouth fossil hunting, loved the factual information spot on! Hope to see you out and about one day on the coast thanks for sharing this adventure! 👍
Another wonderful vid Abbie and thanks for sharing .
Thanks Abbie for this video! First time tried fossil hunting. Its incredible. Loved it. Thank you for this video it has really educated me on what to look for. Incredible place. 💖
What a great place to hang out and explore. Thanks for sharing, Abbie. 🙂 Also, about 2 minutes in, I think you were being followed by Wiltshire Man. In the sky above your right shoulder. 😊
You. Are. The. Best
great video.
Watched one of your adventures today. Very well crafted and informative!
great video, i will never forget the time i found an ammonite at hunstanton beach which introduced me to the existence of the jurassic coast and fossil hunting.
Informative and enthusiastic hunt, loved it!
What a wonderful video, I love scouring the beaches too.
Great to see Charmouth. I spent my summers there as a kid. Collected many fossils. I don’t think it was as busy then! I’ll have to head back. Thanks for reminding me how satisfying it is.
Thanks for sharing this Abbie :)
This was another interesting one, thank you! We might combine a visit to my elderly Dad, who lives near there with a trip to that beach. Also, last weekend we took a walk round Staple Plain. We have done many walks up there, but not that one. Thanks again, it was a great walk!
Really interesting, thanks for sharing 🌼
I just red Tracy Chevalier's book about Annie Aning's life, found it so poignant, and I am glad to see there is quite a lot of people fond of this place nowadays !
Cheers from Denmark. Love your videos. You're doing a phenomenal job.
Good job. It must be nice to be close to an area loaded with multiple fossils. We have shark teeth which are fossilized in my area and enjoyable for families to discover whilst they enjoy the outdoors.
Will definitely paying paying Charmouth beach a visit now. Herne Bay in Kent is lovely for fossilised sharks' teeth.
I found all of my best stuff in Charmouth beach alongside the cliff. I also almost drowned in a mudslide (I was about 9) but it was worth it.
Thanks for sharing 👍 been thinking of doing this for a while.
Thank you so much for this brilliant video. We watched it just before our trip to Charmouth and thanks to your great info we found loads of Belemnites, which we would have overlooked. Also lucky enough to find several beautiful ammonites. 😊
I'm actually visiting tomorrow, wanted a look and what to expect, very excited
Really liking this video...I have always been fascinated by fossils...i love your enthusiasm, Abbie, you're awesome :)

Informational video. The fossils are interesting and plentiful along the Jurassic Coast.
What a catch! Nothing like that here, mostly the thunderstones i can find. And you made it look so easy :)
Incredible stuff Abbie. It’s hard to imagine the amount of time required to layer the remains of theses creatures in the cliffs like that and preserve them. And how lucky is it that we live in such a time that they can be discovered and tell us what has gone before? It’ll numb your mind if you think about it long enough.
Greetings from Arkansas and thanks for the great video.
I found a lot of shapes that curve looks like a shells that mixed up in a big stone here in the beach in our country
Could you quickly explain the layered sediments on the cliffs. Absolutely love the rocks in my area we well I loved rock hunting if I’m in a bad mood it’s really calming and yes your not even aware of the time
Really enjoying your videos. I'm a new sub. Keep up the great work
It’s a great thing to find fossils done it a few times wow what a collect you gathered in a short time
I really should try this fossil hunting, being a bit of an old fossil myself! A good and very interesting video.
Great vid, I like treasure hunt g on the beach fossils, seaglass etc
This is great!
Hallo, I went here several times, found lots of small ones under rocks, nice video :)
Thank you for sharing* :-)
Went to Charmouth, made sure the tide was out. The weather was grim but ok but the beach was packed with like minded people. Spent 2 hours scouring and found some large rocks with amenites embedded in but nothing small enough to call our own. Think everyone else got there first, nice walk though.
I've been watching so many of your videos lately and I find this one! I live here, I can see the beach from my window! Great videos they all are! One thing I would say is DONT CLIMB over the black cliff faces looking for fossils,. They're not stable, and you can hear them creaking, and people always climb up them! Every year!
Thanks for this. I used to visit charmouth rgularly with my mum when i was a teen. Now i live in iceland and Im 44 years old. Ive got a bit interested in geology of late and mum mentioned we should Maybe trip back to charmouth when Im next in England. I wonder if old nigel the paeleantologist still lives there with his his nice boat the nikki D. He was a fun guy. He lied though. He told me he found that ictheasaur. Anyhow be nice to see him again if hes still alive. He looked like that sailor out of tin tin so if hes still about everyone in the Area will know him. Anyhow we struggled finding ammonites tbh probably cos we didnt have a clue where to look. Haha good Job no pick Axe needed by the looks of it
Amazing! Thanks for sharing! What kind of trousers are you wearing? I’ve been looking for some like that.
In Lebanon we have Charmoutha Beach in Maameltein
A great day out.
My cousin swam there on christmas day!
Im taking my chance even if i doubt you'll see that but whats your camera ? And do you use a microphone for cutting the background wind noise ? thanks!
I went to charmouth a few days ago and found 1 full ammonite and around 150 belemnites. Also there was lots of fossilised coral. There were other fossils aswell and rare stones. Also after speaking to people at the centre i found out that this year has had lots of sand instead of just rocks meaning that the ammonites have sunk below the ground. The belemnites however role over the sand instead. I hope this is useful for anyone going there.
Very close to that at fresh water holiday park I found a fraction of an ammonit
great vid. really enjoyed it. Definitely on my list of things to do the next time im down the that way.
just thought id let you know. I visited fossil beach during the summer and had a great time. Ive uploaded a vid of my experience and fossils! Thanks Abbie for sharing this great place

Are there more fossil info/videos?? I can't find any😥😥 I'm a beginner
Please can you do a video of what to pack for fossil hunting? My 7 year old son and I are visiting Charmer in August and we dont know what to take with us. Many thanks.
Amie. A good pair of eyes and some sandwiches will suffice. As not explained in the video, look along the foreshore and especially where there are noticeable patches of shingle with pieces of pyrite. Spend some time here. Don't waste time climbing or looking in the cliffs, as the daily erosional action of the waves will have done the hard work for you and separated the fossils from the mudstone. There is replenishment of fossils every day but clearly after stormy weather is better. Ammonites preserved in pyrite abound. Get along to the Charmouth Heritage Centre, just along the beach near the car park and look at typical fossils that can be found here. The staff are friendly and great for advice and their fossil walks are highly recommended, to ensure you come back to the car with something worthwhile. Good luck!
I went there and saw an ammonite bigger than my hand sticking out the clay, but I took it out and it was broken🙁
Difficult to imagine that those cliffs were once the sea bed under hundreds of meters of water. I remember fossil hunting (the verb fossiling didn't yet exist, lol) in the early 80's around Dorset. There were well formed ammonites literally, everywhere you looked, probably all been taken now.
Next hiking vid by Abbie: walking with dinosaurs.
How can I show you fossil my grandson found please .
The ones I picked up turned to dust when I got home
Sad times man.
any chance of adding the phrase ' me luvver' or any other Bristolian dialect...I'm sure many viewers would find a bit of colloquial talk as fascinating as the unique and varied landscapes ?
Hi Abbie how’s you and anna
Is this about you? Or the fossils?
Stories from the Stone Age anyone
Sewage waste in the sea
What happens when everyone picks the beach clean? There is this saying for natural areas and ancient wonders. Take only memories, leave only footprints.
There are countless millions of them.
Yep there were countless millions in Petosky, Michigan too. Then countless millions came to pick them, now you can't find any. Imagine that, no petosky stones left in Petosky, Michigan. Oh well. The point of the UNESCO designation is you're supposed to protect it.
Whilst you raise an interesting and sad case in your argument, where Abby was collecting in the UK fossil hunting loose fossils on the foreshore as she did is actually ENCOURAGED by scientists and conservationists. The reason for this is that the fossils are freed from the sedimentary deposits by natural erosion and will be destroyed naturally by the action of the sea. The majority of what is found is very common and of little interest to science, but occasionally hunters get lucky and are able to contribute to our scientific exploration of the distant past. Chipping away at the cliffs is obviously a bad thing and not allowed, but for the reason outlined above, the collection of loose fossils on the foreshore actually provides conservation and benefit. Of course to make this benefit truly positive, all rare or unidentified finds must be reported to local visitor's centres , but even if they are not, at least they are not destroyed by time and tide...
