Druidston Haven Fossils and Fossil Collecting
Your SW Wales Geological Guide and Geology Info

Abundant graptolites can be found at Druidston Haven. The site, like much of the Pembrokeshire Coast is an SSSI which means that although loose pebbles and smaller rocks may be investigated and collected, large boulders and the cliffs must not be defaced.

Once the right type of shale cobbles are located and split, graptolites should prove to be plentiful.

Parking can be found a short distance from the beach. Once on the beach, shale cobbles are immediately found. Other areas with the cobbles are within a few hundred meters. The tide at this location does not reach the cliffs until near to high tide.
