SN6089 : Ancient peat on Borth Beach
taken 11 years ago, near to Borth, Ceredigion/Sir Ceredigion, Wales
Ancient peat on Borth Beach
The smooth brown banks and nodules on this beach are peat and wood, remains of the submerged prehistoric forest. When the tide goes out and they dry off cracks appear. The material is soft and easy to dig into.
The sands move around of course and I am told these features are more likely to be visible during the winter and spring when the beach has been scoured by storms.
