Godrevy

[2] Godrevy lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the South West Coast Path runs around the whole promontory.

[3] The headland (grid reference SW580430) is on the Atlantic coast in Cornwall on the eastern side of St Ives Bay and about three miles (5 km) northeast of the town of Hayle.

South of Navax Point is an area of heath named The Knavocks (Cornish: Kynyavos, meaning autumn dwelling) which is managed by The National Trust.

The Knavocks, like other coastal heathlands in Cornwall, is managed by regularly cutting back the gorse and by grazing, the National Trust having introduced a herd of ponies for the purpose.

The cliffs, offshore rocks and coast around Godrevy Head form a renowned habitat for seabirds including cormorants, fulmars, guillemots, and razorbills and several species of gull.

[5] Seaward of Godrevy Island is a submerged reef known as The Stones, which extends for approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) to the northwest across the eastern approach to St Ives Bay.

[6] Overlying the turbidites are a sequence of rocks laid down during recent ice ages, and Godrevy is considered to be one of the most important Pleistocene (2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago) sites in the south-west of England.

[7] The three hypotheses were: The dog skeleton dates to 1650 AD (± 30), which implies that it is possible for a recently dead animal to be within ice age deposits but leave no indication of how it happened.
