This tree's story
White Chimney Wood is an ancient woodland with a SSI along the gill on the west side. The wood is largely hornbeam coppice with oak, beech and silver birch standards, holly handsome pine and European larch. Access is via several paths and an old roadway, and although it is not open access land, the landowner allows fairly free access to walkers.
These trees are part of an old hedgerow of mixed hornbeam, beech and oak which was on the west side of an old road.
