There is a free National Trust car park at Lydstep Headland. This can be hard to find. To reach it turn down a small, badly kept road that heads South from the village of Lydstep.

After a couple of hundred meters you will find yourself next to a new static caravan facility. There is a turning to your right opposite this which you should take to reach the car park.

From the car park, walk to your right when facing towards the sea. Follow the path a short distance and then descend the steps down to the back of the cove. Fossils can be found immediately.
