The beaches around Charmouth are world famous for their wonderful collection of dinosaur fossils that are found here, washed up onto the cliffs nearby.
The Golden Cap is a cliff which lies between Charmouth and Bridport and forms a part of the Jurassic coast which is now owned by the National Trust. It is the highest point on the south coast of the British Isles and is visible for a number of miles along the coastline.
Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre is a museum situated in a cement factory built in 1985 and displays a wide section of fossils which are found on the beach, their information, geology, local history and more.
There is no entrance fee for visitors to the centre and a number of events as well as charitable donations from the public help to run the centre.
