Well, Cornwall is actually sinking, and Scilly is sinking quite

Hi Graham

I thought that it was only the south east of England that was still sinking
and the west of the UK was rising, caused by 'rebound' after the removal of
the weight of glaciers from the last ice-age.

Nick,

Scilly is certainly sinking. I'll try to dig out some info I've got on
it & email it to you.

I would have thought any ice age rebound would have been lower in the
far SW than anywhere else?
