 From the A1 take the A14 West for approx. 4-5 miles. Then Take the exit for Grafham. Follow the signs for Grafham water. After about approx. 3 miles you will see a cycle shop and car park on your right . Enter the car park and find a nice spot. Go to the foreshore and proceed to your right you should have already found some Gryphaea and Belemnites. As you proceed down the foreshore keep on the lookout for Ammonites in the Exposed Oxford Clay and do not forget to check out the banks (Boulder Clay). The Clay will be exposed only when the reservoir water level is low. I you get bored of fossil hunting this site is excellent for the family. There are several nature trails that can be hiked or cycled if you care to rent a bike from the cycle shop. This site also has a playground , so bring a picnic .
