James has been collecting fossils along the Jurassic Coast for over a decade; in that time, he has found new species of fossilised insect and helped recover the remains of large marine reptiles. James is passionate about all things fossil, no matter how big or small, he believes they each have a story to tell. James is keen to share his knowledge of the coast and promote safe and productive fossil hunting. Please get in touch if you'd like to book a walk: [email protected]

After a short break we are delighted to be opening again for Brewery Tours from 21st June 2021. Our draught ales win awards. Beer drinkers love them. They love the distinctive taste and delicious character. And the refreshing, thirst-quenching qualities of Palmers’ traditional ales. They love the fact we’re among the UK’s very best small independent brewers – and that we’ve been brewing fine ales non-stop since 1794. The original Old Brewery at Bridport in West Dorset is where we still work to traditional methods with the finest ingredients. Methods and ingredients that have built our reputation over 200 years. Today, we skilfully blend these best brewing rules with scientific systems, to create five quality ales for the 21st century.
