In Whitby there is a museum with a huge collection of fossils.

You can see the many specimens from the collection at http://www.whitbymuseum.org.uk/type/ftlist.htm

The museum is situated in Pannett Park and in one section of the park is the Jurassic Garden which links to the specimens inside the museum.
