The Fossil Forest provides a fascinating insight into conditions prevailing in the Upper Jurassic period, 135 million years ago. They are on a ledge some 25 metres above the sea.

On this ledge are some ring-shaped structures up to 2m across. These are moulds of gymnosperms (early coniferous trees) which died after being encased in sediment. Most of the trees were upright leaving round holes, but some had fallen leaving elongate coffin-shaped moulds.
