If you enjoy the trail you may be interested to know that there are over 30 brass rubbings (and a lot more information on dinosaurs) to be discovered in Exmouth. Call into the Tourist Information office to find out more and for map to discover where more dinosaur brass rubbings can be found.

What the locals say…

“You’ll find lots of interesting facts about dinosaurs and you’ll get to see some of the Exmouth sights along the way too! Be sure to stop off half way around for an ice cream.”

Exmouth Town Council would like to give thanks to Chris Fox who wrote the script for the trail.
