ATLANTIC GREY SEALS

More than 100 Atlantic grey seals are expected to be born off the Pembrokesh­ire coastline in Wales this autumn. The number of seal pups born in the area is increasing every year, and last year saw one of the highest-ever annual birth rates in west Wales. Tourists are expected to flock to the area to spot the pups.

AN INCREDIBLE DISCOVERY

The remains of a Roman fort have been found during the building of a new bus station in Exeter, Devon. Archaeolog­ists (experts who study the past from things that people have left behind) say the discovery suggests that Exeter was much more important in Roman times than was previously thought.

A SPECIAL ROUNDABOUT

A roundabout in Truro, Cornwall, has been named the best in the UK. It features a family of giant wooden hedgehogs, and was praised by the Roundabout Appreciati­on Society (RAS) as quirky, imaginativ­e and beautiful. The RAS aims to draw attention to magnificen­t roundabout­s across the UK with its 2020 calendar.
