royal oak and yew tour
|
|
This walking tour takes place around Surrey and the outskirts of London and includes some of the most fascinating and remarkable trees in the world. Where better to start than at Runnymede where you can stand under The Ankerwyke Yew. This tree is famous for being the birthplace of modern democracy as it was under the spread of this living fossil that Magna Carta (the documental backbone to the UK’s and USA’s constitution) was sealed but did you also know that it was a trysting place for Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn? |
The next stop on this unique London tour will be the grand sweep of the Windsor Great Park. This park, which is attached to the oldest and largest inhabited palace in the world, has the highest concentration of ancient oaks anywhere in Europe and several of which are over 1000 years old. The tour can return to London via Bushy Park or Richmond Park. These are royal parks both comprising ancient woodlands. In Spring Bushy Park has a mile long avenue of conker trees (horse chestnut) in full flower. This wonderful guided walking tour will take you to some of the most beautiful parks in London as you discover the best of London’s natural sights to see
