Was England ever attached to France?

England is an island, separated from France by the English Channel. However, there was a time when the two landmasses were connected. During the last Ice Age, which began about 2.6 million years ago, the sea levels were much lower. As a result, a land bridge called Doggerland connected Britain to continental Europe.

Doggerland was a large, fertile plain that was home to a variety of animals and plants. It is believed that the first humans arrived in Britain via Doggerland around 10,000 years ago. The land bridge was eventually submerged by rising sea levels around 6,000 years ago.
