1.2 - TENBY SOUTH - SKRINKLE HAVEN
Prehistoric Submerged Forest - 3
Peat Shelves on Lydstep Haven Beach .
Some pieces of wood and tree roots are visible amongst the peat deposits
which rest on Clay.
The storms of 2014 have exposed more of this feature than usual .
--------------------
As at Amroth , the remains of a " drowned forest" , submerged about 6,000yrs ago
may been seen , at low tides / low sand levels .
---------------------
A number of other beaches around the coast show this feature - under optimum conditions .
Amroth , Abermawr and at times - Freshwater West , Manorbier , Newport , Newgale ,
Whitesands and Wiseman's Bridge.
