The Thornton Skerry

During the Triassic period, around 235 million years ago, Charnwood Forest would have been a hot, arid environment. Winds blew dust and sand around, and seasonal rains formed short-lived rivers and lakes.

Discover a rock from the Triassic, named after the nearby village, that still shaped the landscape today.
