Yews recorded at this site: Ancient 5m-7m

Notes: A National Trust site - see their website for opening times and price of admission. The first castle was built in the 11th century and the possibility of the oldest yews coming from around that time can be considered. In 2013 they grow in a plantation of Western Hemlock. Approximate grid references of the individual trees are contained in the tree notes. Three significant yews are recorded here, while another unverified yew with a girth of about 5m has been noted by the Ancient Tree Hunt at SO43996600.
