ASHORT walk from the road through a stark rocky landscape leads to the fossil of a baleen whale. The fossil is very clear and is protected by Perspex from both the weather and prying fingers.
Very helpful to the amateur is an interpretive board explaining exactly which parts of the whale are visible.
If you have the time, it is worthwhile strolling down to the valley lined by ancient limestone rock formations.
