Hi Tom
The coastline has altered radically in the last 10000yrs.
Around 9000BC you could walk from the north east of England to Denmark.
If you draw a line from the Tees to the north of Denmark and from the Isle of Wight to Calais you'll have a very rough guide to the points where the British coastline was joined to mainland Europe. Also with sea levels being lower than they are today, much of the coastline was a lot further out than today. By around 7000BC the land bridge had deteriorated into marsh and the channel had been breached but it would still be possible to cross to Europe in a small boat, with a couple of dry- land stops on the way. By around 5000BC the coastline pretty much resembled what it is today apart from a few esturies still being marshlands.
