Tusker Rock


Tusker Rock, is a rock in the Bristol Channel, about west of Ogmore-by-Sea, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. It is suggested that it takes its name from Tuska the Viking, a Dane whose fellow Vikings semi-colonised the Vale of Glamorgan.
Alternately, the name might derive simply from the Old Norse tu skar.
It is fully visible only at low tide, and was formerly a notorious hazard for ships.
Today, the waters around Tusker Rock are a popular diving location.
