Hookend Information

The best time to go is while its warm and not windy. Plus be very cautious of the sea as it comes in really fast. This site is not a SSSI so this means that hitting or breaking open rocks is ok to do. Make sure you keep an eye on the tide time tables as well. This site is a fair walk for children. The location geology is:

There are three layers at Hookend which are (top to bottom):

Middle Chalk: Terebratulina lata Zone and the Inoceramus labiatus (Orbirhynchia cuvieri) Zone this rock is the most fossiliferous but only really available from broken bits that have fallen to the ground.
