The Happisburgh footprints were a set of fossilized hominin footprints that date to the early Pleistocene.

Description

They were discovered in May 2013 in a newly uncovered sediment layer on a beach at Happisburgh in Norfolk, England, and were destroyed by the tide shortly afterwards.

Results of research on the footprints were announced on 7 February 2014, and identified them as dating to more than 800,000 years ago.

They are the oldest known hominin footprints outside Africa.
