Porlock Bay is on the Bristol Channel, between Hurlstone Point and Porlock Weir in Somerset, England. The coastline includes shingle ridges, salt marshes and a submerged forest. In 1052 the Saxon king, Harold, landed at Porlock Bay from Ireland, and burnt the town before marching on London.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Exmoor - Minehead & Porlock )〕 Much of the coastline is under the care of the National Trust, and the coastline forms part of the South West Coast Path. ==Porlock Ridge and Saltmarsh== Porlock Ridge and Saltmarsh () is a 186.3 hectare (460.4 acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest on Porlock Bay, notified in 1990. This site is notified for its nationally important active coastal geomorphological features. It is also nationally important for the salt marsh and coastal vegetated shingle habitats which occur here.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=English Nature )〕 At Bossington a shingle beach, through which flows the River Horner, rising sea levels in the 1990s caused the creation of salt marshes and lagoons developed in the area behind the boulder bank.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shifting shores in the South West )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Porlock Bay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
