About us
Did you know Drake's Island was formed from volcanic rock? The guided Geo Trail takes you on a journey of discovery. Learn about Plymouth's once-tropical climate; see the evidence of weird and wonderful ancient sea creatures; and feel the fossilized remains of old coral reefs.
Join geologist Dr Jodie Fisher for a venture through time that turns Royal William Yard and surrounding areas of the South West Coast Path into a living museum. From the natural landscape of Devil's Point, to the building blocks used to create Royal William Yard's grand buildings, the Geo Trail reveals the stories in the stones.
Suitable for all the family, you can also explore the Geo Trail in your own time too. Pop into Royal William Yard's Gatehouse to find printed guides highlighting the trail stops. Each trail stop has a QR code for videos with Jodie sharing fascinating facts and tips to spot the fossils.
Guided tours with Dr Jodie Fisher available at the times below:
10:00-11:00

Jodie shares her expertise and answers your questions on a tour with views of the River Tamar. The meeting point will be outside the Royal William Yard Gatehouse, please arrive 5 minutes before your start time.
