A prehistoric, long-submerged forest has been revealed by the extreme weather that has tortured the coast of Britain in recent weeks.
Even some years ago, while walking along the beach during low tide, people could see the remnants of an ancient forest located on the coast of North West Wales, overlooking Cardigan Bay.
Now, on the west coast Wales, tree stumps of oak, hazel, pine, birch, willow and alder can be found embedded in peat at one meter below the normal surface between high and low water marks. Even twigs and branches are uncovered.
The legendary forest died more than 4,500 years ago, ans its remnants are now sticking out of the sand from beaches of Cardigan Bay.
