Old Forge Fossil Shop is a fossil and gift shop in the heart of Lyme Regis and dogs are welcome inside. It's the sort of browse-friendly spot where you can take your time hunting for ammonites, crystals and local curiosities without having to leave your dog tethered outside.
The shop stocks fossils, gemstones and gifts that capture the spirit of the Jurassic Coast, making it a natural stop during a Lyme Regis wander. Because dogs are allowed in, you can explore the displays together and avoid the usual pavement-tied wait.
You'll find Old Forge Fossil Shop in the main shopping area, close to other central Lyme Regis shops and easy to weave into a town-centre circuit. Broad Street parking and nearby town car parks are the easiest options for reaching the shop.
