Looking north near the summit of Wren's Nest Hill. The Silurian limestone contains a huge variety of fossils, including corals and the famous "Dudley Bug" trilobite, Calymene blumenbachii. Many people come here to search for fossils. Hammers are forbidden, as is breaking away rocks from the rockface. Searching through fallen rocks and other debris is allowed.
