Historic remains of Forest on Redcar Beach
We visited Redcar beach for the first time to experience and witness the historic remains of an ancient forest that have just been uncovered. This has been discovered due to the severe weather lately, which removed the top layer of sand. The remains have not been seen for nearly 50 years.
It was an experience to have history beneath your feet. The remains date back to the Ice Age.
