Petrified forest
No, not scared trees Twice a year, the tide goes out far enough to uncover a prehistoric forest which stretched as far as Denmark. Tree stumps can be seen and the forest is the source of the coalfields used by pits in County Durham

Of which Lindisfarne was the northern limit I believe? Had some good times there in 60's.

No, somewhat before then. Round about '62 when we were all getting, er, putrefied on Newkie Brown and cider (because it was cheap), and Scotch eggs. Those were the days. If you can remember them.
Anyway, much earlier and in a Geography class, our teacher Taff Williams, Welshman by the way if I remember rightly, went on about joined up continents and Pangea when there were very different land masses. I thought I remembered the Holy Island as being the Northern border land mass. So it was rather large. Literally, a forerunner of the EU in a way.

There is one of these prehistoric forests at Compton on the Isle of Wight, at low tide you can find pieces of what looks like charcoal and on a spring low tide stumps are visible, I have been told footsteps are visible if you know where to look but I have never seen them.
