Ancient Trees is a love-letter to Britain's venerable trees. The co-authors are well known for their extensive work with ancient trees and historic woodland. The book is a celebration of the ancient and historic trees that enhance 40 National Trust properties, including the yew under which it is believed the Magna Carta was sealed 800 years ago, Isaac Newton's apple tree, and a row of massive chestnut trees that are said to originate from nuts salvaged from the Spanish Armada. Featuring stunning photography by Edward Parker, this enchanting book explores the historical and cultural associations of ancient trees and their biological importance, as well as their sheer beauty.
