Old Forge Fossil Shop

Reviewed By Indigo_Dog_11 - Newbury, United Kingdom

This lovely shop is dog friendly and very welcoming. I have been here several times as it is on the list of places we always visit when in Lyme Regis. They have some lovely jewellery and fossils. It’s well laid out with plenty room. They have lots of books and information for fossil hunters of all sizes.
