Are you ready to hunt fossils, explore ancient rock layers, and walk through time with fellow Rockwatchers? Our epic 5-day field trip to Dorset returns this summer and we’d love you to join us!

From Monday 28 July to Friday 1 August 2025, we’ll be staying at Leeson House near Swanage with the on-site Field Studies Team and heading out daily on geological adventures in Dorset’s Jurassic Coast. Expect loads of practical geology, expert-led fossil hunts, dramatic cliffs, and plenty of fun with Rockwatch friends.

Our leaders Richard, Barry, Alan and Phil, who know the area inside-out and will help you spot fossils, identify rocks, and explain the stories behind the amazing landscape.

We’ll be exploring:

  • Charmouth & Lyme (Fossils galore!)
  • Weymouth & Ringstead (Sedimentary rocks & ancient seas)
  • Lulworth to Mupe Bay (Spectacular scenery, geology and wildlife)

Evenings are just as fun with games, talks, and relaxing with fellow Rockwatchers at Leeson House.

This trip is great for Rockwatchers of all ages and their families – whether you’re new or a seasoned field tripper.

Don’t miss out – this is one of the best things Rockwatch does all year!
