What is the oldest yew in my county?
Red type indicates photo in gazetteer) Larger girthed yews will generally be older, though this is not the case when only a fragment of the original tree remains (eg Aldworth, Astbury). Some of the oldest yews grow as 2 or more fragments (eg Fortingall, Kingston St. Mary, Llandre). Counties with a scarcity of old yews may have relatively young trees listed while those well endowed with ancient yews may find significant trees omitted from this list. * denotes a tree on private land · Berkshire: Aldworth, Shottesbrooke, Sunninghill, White Waltham · Buckinghamshire: Ankerwyke, Ibstone, Langley, Langley Park · Carmarthenshire: Cilycwm · Ceredigion: Llandre, Strata Florida · Cheshire: Astbury, Eastham, Goostrey · Conwy: Ffynnon Bedr*, Gwytherin, Llangernyw, Llangwm · Cumbria: Borrowdale, Lorton, Martindale, Old Church · Derbyshire: Allestree, Darley Dale, Doveridge · Denbighshire: Cyffylliog, Nantglyn · Devon: Dartington, Farway, Kenn, Mamhead, Staverton · Dorset: Knowlton*, Lytchett Matrav
