Michael,


i'm not aware of anywhere in the UK where it's now at all easy to find geodes. Apparently "potato stones" can still be found on the Mendips.


Sorry, not very helpful.

Scotland offers you the best option. It has produced a stunning array of agates and often the nodules they are found in have hollow centres, ie. geodes. Just google Scottish agates or geodes and you'll get some idea. A little further south in Northumberland you can also find them and after that it would have to be the Mendips. Depends where you are really.
