An ancient forest was revealed in Mount's Bay, Cornwall, following winter storms and low tides. The woodland is estimated to be at least 4,000 years old.
A low tide on a Cornish beach has revealed the trunks, stumps and roots of an ancient forest that's at least 4,000 years old.
In January 2023, there were storms on the south coast which showed signs of the woodland and in March 2021 the ancient forest could be seen during the biggest tide of the year. It was claimed in 2014 that the forests show evidence of the changes Mount's Bay has undergone as sea levels have risen since the end of the last glaciation.
