Additional comments
I counted and photographed 4 trees in this line of cant markers but there are many Into the 100’s) line of boundary trees in this wood, generally Ash or Hornbeam whilst the coppice is Chestnut. This particular tree is half missing, one bough has been left to grow pretty large. Hollow, a hole has been formed by the gnarly growth and the bark is beautiful.
