A Christmas Day stroll took a turn for the extraordinary when Geraint Lewis stumbled upon human remains along one of Wales’ most popular coastal paths in the Vale of Glamorgan. Known for its breathtaking scenery, this time Nash Point had something rather unexpected to offer—a glimpse into the past. Spotting a set of strikingly white teeth poking through the earth, Geraint didn’t just find bones; he unearthed a mystery waiting to be solved.
Having explored this path many times before, Geraint was in disbelief at the unexpected find near the Nash Point lighthouse. The remarkably preserved skull and bones he discovered are believed to be from a long-forgotten sailor’s burial—evidence of a time gone by, now exposed by the relentless forces of nature. Despite immediately reporting the find and capturing images, like any budding archaeologist would, Geraint was surprised to find the site unprotected upon his return days later.
Bones appearing along this stretch of the Welsh coast aren’t as unusual as one might think. The land here is no stranger to revealing its secrets; time and time again, human remains have surfaced along the Vale. From Southerndown to Monknash, each find whispers tales of history waiting to be told.
While the police say this area is a known burial site impacted by natural erosion, isn’t it intriguing to wonder what lies beneath? And, more importantly, shouldn’t we strive to uncover the identities and stories of these ancient souls?
It raises the question: what more does the Vale hide under its rugged beauty? Geraint hopes his discovery sparks an archaeological interest, turning this accidental find into an opportunity to connect with the forgotten past.
Stay tuned, because who knows what more could be revealed from beneath the Welsh earth! 🌊👣🦴
