From Elgol, drive along the small road (not the B8083) to the East until you come to a junction where you can turn left or right. Follow the road to the left and park on the verge just before its end (the very end is reserved for turning vehicles). Carry on on foot through the gate and along the wooded path. You will pass through a couple of gates and after about 600m you will see a house. Walk just past this house and then head down to the beach along the path next to it. The path is overgrown in places but is easy enough to navigate. This beach is location 1.
When you have investigated location 1, return to your vehicle and head back along the road until you come to a public telephone box. You can park in a layby a little further on from this. From the layby, cross the road and go over the style into the field. Follow the fence until you come to the cliff and then make your way due South through the bracken. Be careful here. The path is almost invisible in places and the bracken covers any uneven areas that you could trip over. The path is also steep in places, so it is probably more suited to the more adventurous fossil hunter. As you descend towards the beach you will come across a sloping gap in the cliffs. Through this you can access the beach. This is location 2.
Location 3 is situated at the opposite end of the road from location 1. To access it, park near to the end of the road (again the very end is reserved for turning vehicles) and carry on on foot. The road becomes a path and this can be followed until it reaches the beach.
