May 22, 2019

Rock Identification Workshop and Beach Walk, 10.30am-2.30pm – Hosted by Sewerby Hall and Gardens, along with the Yorkshire Geological Society.

The walk, which will start at the top of Sewerby Steps, will be an ideal opportunity to learn about the chalk cliffs and landscapes of the Yorkshire Wolds, along with the prehistoric forces that created them. There will be an opportunity on the walk to investigate some of the different rocks seen on the beach and discover more about their origins, along with searching for many fossils found on the foreshore. An indoor session will also take place, looking at specimens from a collection of rock samples specially selected for the purposes of classification.

Attendees will need to wear appropriate footwear and outdoor clothing.
