WOULD YOU and your family aged 8+ like to enjoy a trip to the beach with a difference, learning about the prehistoric landscape hidden below the sands?
Come to along to Cleethorpes for a foreshore ramble and discover the preserved prehistoric landscape underneath the surface.

Visit some of the close-to-shore Bronze Age “submerged forest” and spot a number of ship wrecks as well as find out about the tourist development of Cleethorpes in the 19th and 20th centuries.
This explorers’ walk will take approximately 1.5 hours with plenty of chance for questions!
