Follow the B4371 towards Church Stretton and then after 4 miles turn left heading towards Rushbury. Follow the road through Rushbury which will then fork right at the top of a tree covered hill. About a mile onwards you will reach Millichope Farm. The farm is not signposted, but there is easy parking by the side of the road along a grass bank and you should notice a very small hill. A stream runs along the side of the road and there is an iron gate in the middle. There are trees running along the road by the stream. Click the Location Map for detailed directions. From the Iron Gate, you can walk in the stream Left or Right or climb over the gate and walk left following the stream and edge of the field until you reach the small hill with embankment, (see Fossil Guide for more specific information) There is a second location near by just 250 metres north of the farm, this site can be more productive but is also more sensitive and has been subject to some quite extensive erosion. Care should be taken at this site to prevent further damage.
