Family Friendly Geology day at Northmoor Hill Wood, Denham  

Venture out on guided walks (book your ticket here) led by members of the Bucks Geology Group, who will unravel the secrets of Northmoor’s rocks and landscape. Witness the layers of time beneath your feet and learn to identify the stones that have shaped Northmoor.

Look and handle the items on the rock and fossil display (no booking needed, just turn up). Volunteers will be on hand to answer your questions and share remarkable stories about each find. Look at our geological map – what rocks are beneath your house?

Ask a Geologist: Bring along your own curious rocks, minerals, or fossils for identification by one of the BGG geologists.

What to Bring:

  • Comfortable clothing and sturdy footwear suitable for outdoor walks
  • Water bottle and sun protection (hat, sunscreen, etc.)
  • Your curiosity and questions!
  • Any rocks, minerals, or fossils you’d like identified.

Parking: free but very limited parking on site. We recommend walking if you live locally.

Please note there are no refreshments or toilets on site.

About the guided walk: there will be two slots available during the day, 11am and 1pm. This is a family friendly walk (recommended for 5+). It will be at a slow phase and we estimate the walk to take 1 hour. Please note, there is few steep hills during the walk, so make sure to wear sturdy boots.
