160 million years ago, dinosaurs walked where we walk today! It is now well over 100 years since the first dinosaur footprints were discovered on the Yorkshire coast. Since that time many more prints have been found at numerous locations along the coastline and at inland exposures.

Spangereidet
The flat little strip of land that makes the Lindesnes peninsula part of the mainland takes its name from its ancient function as a crossing point for ships and boats. An isthmus can be defined as "the shortest land route between two watercourses". The expanse of just under 2 km between Njerve on the southeast side and Høllebukta on the north side of the isthmus separates the long Lenesfjord from the sea to the south.

The heathlands of western Lista
Up until the Second World War, heathlands dominated the landscape of Western Europe, especially around the North Sea. Maintenance of the heathlands was the basis for having animals out grazing all year round along the coastline. As well as being year-round pasture for sheep, the heather also provided good conditions for honey production. On Lista, farmers still burn-beat the old heathlands, just like it has been done for almost 5,000 years along the whole western coast of Europe.

Briseid
In the very heart of Herad is the old church settlement of Briseid. The farm and church are situated in the centre of the isthmus between Sande in the north and Log in the southwest. The isthmus has been a hub of travel from time immemorial, and Herad used to be a municipality in its own right.
