Fossil Hunting Trips

Discover Yorkshire's Dinosaur Coast

Welcome to Hidden Horizons

Based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire we are passionate about the geology, fossils and coastline on our doorstep. Since 2013 we have developed a range of events and activities for all the family, as well as our fabulous Explorer Schools offer. In 2022 we took the decision to concentrate on the fossil and geology side of business, with events such as stargazing being passed to other organisations. If you can't find what you are looking for please do get in touch.

All of our events, online Fossil Shop and the Prep Shop can now be found at The Fossil Shop website.

Here is what we do...

The Fossil Shop

Our base of operations is The Fossil Shop located on Eastborough in Scarborough. We stock a wide verity of genuine fossils from all around the world.

Public Events

We are well known for our fossil hunting trips, book these via The Fossil Shop. From autumn 2022 operation of our stargazing events has been passed to Astro Dog. For any other events or private hires please contact us.
