8. Lyme Regis, England
Lyme Regis which is hidden on England’s Jurassic Coast entices beginner and experienced fossil hunters alike with its 180-million-year-old creatures and fossilized marine life trapped in sands and rocks. While the yearly fossil festival in May celebrates earth sciences with engaging shows, music, and performances, the Lyme Regis Museum offers guided fossil walks. This coastal town also known as The Pearl of Dorset is located in West Dorset and has a long story. It has a connection to Jane Austen’s Persuasion and has an entrance wall known as The Cobb.
