Other Locations for collecting Corals

There are a number of locations along the Torquay Coastline that are good for corals, another is Hopes Nose.

There are other areas such as Derbyshire and the Lake District where you can find Carboniferous Corals, but by far the most famous county is Shropshire, locations such as Llanymynech Quarry with its Carboniferous Limestone which is on the Welsh Borderline, Upper Millichope, Shadwell Quarry, Wenlock Quarry, Wenlock Edge, Mortimer Forest, and The Onny Trail all Silurian rocks and highly fossilferious. In Avon, you can collect Corals from Weston-Super-Mare and Portishead and Castleton, Parkhouse Hill, in the Derbyshire district. In South West Wales, you can also find Silurian Corals from Marloes Sands. In Scotland, you can also find corals at St Monans. From South Wales, Carboniferous Corals can be found at Lydstep Headland, West Angle Bay and Manorbier Bay.

For Corals from Younger period, the Coralline Crag at Ramsholt makes ideal collecting.
