Big old trees have always been a passion of mine and we have more of them in the UK that most places in Europe. Last weekend I was down in Essex for the first time in a few years and took the chance to revisit Hatfield forest an ancient medieval hunting forest with over 800 old pollards of 8 species. This is my favourite, a huge oak hidden deep in the southern scrubs.
I worked there for 3 years in the early 90s and it was very interesting to revisit some of the trees we did work on. I once deadwooded this huge oak, it branches high up and feels a long way up.
More pics and discussion of the management of these ancient trees here.
Does anyone else have pics of big or ancient trees to share?
