Burg
Please note that the coastal path is currently blocked by a landslide about halfway between Burg farm and the fossil tree.
Planning your visit
Burg is open all year round and can only be accessed on foot. It’s a remote and spectacular area of coastal countryside with no visitor facilities and a long walk in from the parking area.
The 5-mile path leading to the fossil tree is rough and sometimes steep – you should allow at least 6 hours to get there and back. Please ensure you’re well prepared with appropriate clothing and footwear (waterproofs and walking boots with ankle support) and plenty of food and drink.
Dogs must be kept under close control, especially around livestock. Dogs are unable to access the final part of the walk as it involves clambering down the side of a cliff on an iron ladder.
Burg paths have been filmed on Google Streetview Treks, where you can view the terrain in advance of your visit.

We have an ongoing programme of accessible content development. Detailed accessibility guides for the most visited Trust places are available on our Accessibility pages as well as links to useful resources.
We’d love you to visit the Euan’s Guide website to review the accessibility of Trust places and tell us (and others) what’s good and where we need to do better.
