Notes:

A splendid yew, with many younger yews nearby. The formidable yew which dominates this scene had a girth of 22′ 9” (693cm) at 1′ and 26′ 2” (798cm) at 4′. Only one gap could be found in what appears a largely solid tree. On the downhill slope is the most extraordinary structure of thick intertwining roots that stretch for many metres along one side of the bole and then away from the tree. Many younger yews grow nearby.
