Ancient Forest Remains Uncovered on Penzance Beach
The ferocity of recent storms has uncovered remnants of an ancient forest on Chyandour beach at Penzance. The forest is thought to date from 4000-6000 years ago (so good evidence of sea levels rising) Remains can be seen of oak, beech and pine trees along with peat beds. Tidal movements will likely again recover the forest again in a few months with sand.
