Mountains on hold due to lousy weather, so here are a few awsome trees


Always found this walk in the woods near Croft Ambrey hill fort quite humbling. Check out the massive Yew near the fort. Oh and the cakes are quite nice at the NT shop 







The Spanish Chestnuts in the grounds at Croft Castle, Herefordshire, are a famous avenue of pollarded sweet chestnuts (Castanea sativa) stretching for 1km to the west of the castle. The tale of the chestnuts' origins suggests that the nuts came from the wrecks of the Spanish Armada in 1592, making some of the trees over 400 years old. (NT)
