Ashbrittle: the Ashbrittle Yew Reputed to be 3000 years old, this tree was standing when Stonehenge was in use. Clearly it predates the adjoining church by millennia and it may mark a holy place or commemorate a battle site. Whatever its origins, it is thought to be one of the oldest living things in Britain.
