    After we have spent time there we will go to the Wren's nest fossils site in Dudley, to the west of Birmingham, is one of the most famous fossil collecting sites in the UK.

    The layers of Wenlock limestone, exposed here by the extensive quarrying of the Victorians, were laid down in a shallow warm tropical sea, during the Silurian period about 443 - 417 million years ago.
