Corals and Coals - Geology walk
The first of a series of Geological guided walks on the coast, entitled Corals and Coals, is lead by Berwick Geologist Dr Ian Kille on Wednesday 15th July. The walks starts at 14.00, meet at the car park by the Pill Box above Middle Skerr at the end of Cocklawburn beach. Grid reference NU032 481, near Scremeston, just south of Berwick.
Dr Kille said, when describing the walk, “We will look at the fascinating rocks of Carboniferous age which are exposed along the shore at Cocklawburn beach. These rocks are very diverse and have many fossils in them which give clues to what the area was like over 300 million years ago”. Big questions will be discussed such as what other major geological events influenced what we see on the beach? What impact has the geology had on the landscape and wildlife? What use have we humans made of the geology? And how geology has shaped this beautiful landscape? Tom Cadwallender, Natural and Cultural Heritage Officer for the Northumberland Coast AONB said “we are very privileged to have Ian Kille lead a series of geology walks for the AONB. These walks will really give an insight to the creation of our wonderful landscape”. The walk is free and no booking required. Please note that there will be some scrambling on rocks, at low tide, which may be slippery so wear suitable footwear. For more details contact Tom Cadwallender 01665 511203
